In 1971, a plane with ninety-two passengers aboard disappeared into the Peruvian jungle without a trace. After ten days, the intensive search was abandoned. On the twelfth day, Juliane Koepcke, a seventeen-year-old girl, emerged. Wings of Hope is a documentary about the sole survivor of a plane crash in the Amazon, a young girl who was hurled into the void from a falling plane, survived her fall from two miles in the sky, and then walked, near death, for eleven days out of the deepest jungle. It is the story of the triumph of human intelligence over brute nature and the chronicle of a miracle.
