No, she was lucky those wild animals treated her this way. She would've been torn to pieces almost any other time, just like most vulnerable humans were, before civilisation offered a place of safety. Sure, humans...OR...more specifically, the human animal can be just as brutal as a wild animal, but don't paint humanity as some kind of living virus. Aren't you here, alive and well, making comments on RUclips due to the kindness of humans raising and educating you?
@@David-ej4cg most intriguing part about all this is NOBODY EVEN BOTHERS TO GIVE A CONTEXT, i guess people just steal kids and leave them in the jungle for no purpose
its very cool and not very shocking to me bc when you think abt it, 2-5 years old are the golden years of learning about yourself and your environment, and when you learn ANYTHING at that age, it sticks with you very fast and very hard for quite awhile. for example if a child is spoiled with affection and hugs at that age often, they obviously expect it for many years to come as a routine + become affectionate themselves. if a child is abused or mistreated at that age, they remember it and become skiddish or even aggressive when theyre older.
When she talks about them sitting on her shoulders and the comfort she felt. I totally understand that. We often take the action/feel of physica touch for granted. It wasnt until about 5 months after my husband died, i went to get a massage and someone lay caring hands on me that i really understood what I was missing.
I see this comment is new, and I wanted to reach out, and tell you that I love you. I love you for you being you, for your soul, and for your ability to survive through pain. I am married, about 3 years now, onto 4. I have been ill a very long time and we still after 10 years, have no idea what is wrong. It's getting worse, and starting to look like all the things it could be, are bad. I think, so often, of what I can do- to make it easier for my Husband, should sometime sooner then we'd like, that I not be here anymore. In this moment, I feel your pain, because that loss is the same regardless of who looses who first. I am so, so sorry for your loss, I don't know how recently he passed, but I feel his love near you, surrounding you. He is always going to be there, doing that for you. I hope, one day when you're ready, and when you least expect it. That love blooms in your heart again, for whomever and whatever comes to fill that need of love again. I hope your life is filled with abundance, and so much joy. May your cup, overflow. Bless you for your strength, bless you on your journey, and please...don't forget to love, laugh, and smile...as often as you can and as much as you like. Loving you from here to there, good luck sweetheart, the dawn always comes, and with it, comes the sun. Godsspeed, and good luck.
@nekocindy551 thank you so much. I'm just seeing this reply now. It's made me feel wonderful and I appreciate you taking the time to share with me. I'm so sorry to hear about your health struggles. My husband passed of a sudden heart attack at 42. It was about 2.5 yrs ago. It was sudden but I'm very intuitive and my heart knew I wasn't going to have him for long. As much as I miss him, I'm even more grateful for having him, even for the short time I did. I choose to focus on my blessings and as hard as these life changing events are, I also believe everything has reason. Please just focus on your love, make decisions for what you'd like done after death (my husband and I are both Jewish but non practicing, his family ended up steamrolling me during this emotional time so it's best for you and your partner to have a clear plan that works for you so there is no additional stress. I'm sending my loving thoughts and hope you get many more sunny days full of laughter ahead of you. ❤️
I went through intense grief and trauma in my 30s and remember thinking “why isn’t everyone hugging me?” Like to comfort me you know, it was so weird to me that people were so cold. I really craved that touch of comfort and care. I ended up getting a stuffed animal it seems silly to say out loud but that helped me immensely to have something to hug.
This woman communicates really well. There is an authenticity in her voice, her eyes and her subtle gestures. Her powerful expressions had me 100% focused for the entire story. I didn't want it to end. I cried and smiled with her. Captivating woman!
@@lavenderflowersfall280 yep, it’s really common for them to use young women to lure new victims in, because they know that kids and women won’t trust men
I was just discussing the topic of “trust after trauma” and I randomly came across her story, Animals demonstrate the purest form of divine love and loyalty. Humans have much to learn from them.
The men? What about the woman that beat and abused her...the men sold her which was horrible but you don't find nothing vile about the woman whipping her?
No one can understand what extreme childhood trauma does to an adult unless you've experienced it yourself. I so understand how she feels when she says that it was the Love of her children that healed her. God bless you Marina
I am a biologist, a Colombian biologist. I live in Bogota and know some colleagues who work with primates. I am not primatologist myself, but I might be able to try to triangulate the specific area to find and solve this mystery. What a story! If somehow, I might be able to help just write me.
Marina has such an innocence of the inner child within her, kind, loving, playful and gentle. Amazing of what she experienced, very happy that she had two daughters and that is her family now!
I kept thinking she was about to cry but she just kept smiling and laughing. What an honor it must have been to meet this joy of a woman. The happiness she radiates is touching.
I am really shocked how cruel all the ppl were to her. there are so many - for us seem normal - psychological ill ppl out there. i really wish that humans and animals that lacks just a little bit love and warmth, cross my way. i want to embrace them with my whole heart and wish to carry for them. i just love Marina, she is such an inner and out beautiful soul. my love goes out to all who needs it so hard. edith. i am so happy to hear that she finally found a person with a good heart to trust. puhh, this short story really touched me to tears.
And this is honestly fascinating because she's bridging a gap between animals and humans, in terms of what we can understand about how they think. When she said "I went towards the young girl because she was nice." That's just what animals do...they go towards the kind hearted person because the vibe feel right and they aren't afraid.
@@KE-yq2eg that's wrong. It is not always about food and some animals don't even care about food as much as how they feel and get reward from that Why must it always be about food? Havent you had an animal before ? how would they trust other members of their kind and learn about predators if it was only ever about food ?
Marina Chapman is an extraordinary woman. I read her book, The Girl with No Name, several years ago and I really enjoyed it. It’s a miracle that she survived. Now she lives a peaceful life in Great Britain where she’s a mother and a grandmother. ❤
@@unndunn1 Good question. I don’t know, but that would be a good way to potentially find some of your family members if they’ve had genetic or DNA testing as well.
Her story made a grown man cry. She’s so brave. I have 3 daughters and what she went through frightens and saddens me to the bone. I’m glad it ended well for her 🙏
@user-hs9ty9hj1j It happens to boys as well but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen to girls? It absolutely does “relate” to girls as they are the most likely victims. What were you trying to imply?
i can tell she's learned English in the uk because she kept saying "I didn't fancy it" it just made me smile. I know this isn't where she was born but I hope she stays and is happy in life
I met this women when I was a child and was a family friend in Bradford UK. She is an amazing lady and very kind. Glad to see her story getting more publicity!
@@wisconsinfarmer4742 Now _that's_ an idea! Kind of a flip-take on the Tarzan stories we all grew up on, only real. I don't know anything about the film industry, but would you be interested in helping me follow this up?
@@jamesportrais3946 My plate is pretty full.. I would listen to Alex Ferrari's channel, Next Level Soul. He was a producer and after a few dozen episodes you might find a pathway. If you are serious, a starting point would be to work on it while you sleep to set up synchronous circumstances. Our multi-dimensional power is less impeded while we sleep. I really effn hope you do it.
I read her book a while ago and the story felt real and very emotional. I don’t understand why people have to be so judgmental when someone shares their experiences.
This is probably the best interview I’ve seen not only in this channel but on RUclips. This woman survived such an unbelievable and horrible childhood and became an absolutely lovely person. Her story has to be one of the most incredible survival stories out there. I was brought to tears hearing her ordeal and then again when she was finally safe with a loving family. God bless her! Thank you for sharing this with us.
@@rilexlyes8758 I think we should have some compassion for Ainokea, he/she apparently finds it hard or even impossible to believe or trust anyone, Something must have happened in his/her life to make him/her feel that way. To have a closed heart, and to be so untrusting must be a very lonely and unhappy life to live
This lady is so lively, all her emotions show so strongly in her face, she has the emotional honesty and vulnerability of a child. It is so wholesome to see a human so authentic withou wearing a mask like most adults....
There is so much more to her story! She wrote a book about her early life that goes into great detail of how she grew up. It’s a great book called the girl with no name. Definitely recommend it!
@@samn6498 Towards the end somehow yes, I would like to claim that there are countless moments from her past, which she keeps mentally catapulting back to this time when she tells or describes them. Who knows how many traumatizing experiences she had during that time. Beginning with the first time of being alone, possibly bad deeds of humans towards the animal (poachers, etc.), as we know them from documentaries or films, up to the unimaginable contrast of the change from nature to humans. I think these are those typical moments in life that no one can understand if they weren't there, which in the end means that you don't even start telling it, even though you'd like to. I can't paraphrase it better, sorry. You are to blame. 👈😄
This made me think about why we isolate ourselves so much from the animals. Interacting with them as much as possible and having animals around you helps you in so many levels. I think it's just makes you a better person by helping you to understand the nature, the world, and the life better.
because sometimes animals snap and tear your face off, happened not only once... they live on instincts and cannot make a full judgement of their actions, primal instincts override learned behavior else yes, its awesome to interact with animals but we still need to understand that humans are humans, animals are animals we are not volatile creatures, they are respect their behaviour and enviroment, and they do the same dont make animals act human, nor act like animal the "smart people" figured it out already as long as time itself as there was many accidents that reinforced this boundary and we need to learn from that
@Shotya yeah I'm not saying we should live in jungles its just we isolate ourselves so much from the nature and the animals to the point that we dont really care about them anymore, though we cannot live without them. I think we're losing a lot of our insights as well because of that.
@@esra72 well the average person doesnt need to interact with animals daily, those who do do their job professionallly, so i think we are safe on that front only problems we need to worry about is companies doing stuff in the grey
What a pure and beautiful soul this woman is. I love the way her eyes light up and how she giggles when she's recalling certain things. To survive such adversity with her spirit not broken and the light in her eyes intact is amazing. Her story is captivating and teaches a great deal about the humanity of animals and the inhumanity of people.
You should read her book, I read it about 10 years ago, and have read it several times since, it is one of the best books I have read. What she says here is just a tiny fraction of her story, what happens to her after she leaves the jungle is even more amazing
When wild animals show a child more compassion and love than the people in her life at that time it shows just how loveless this world can be. What an amazing life this lady has had!
No it doesn't. It shows how living the world can be. People so quick to be ashamed of themselves these days, because they think it makes them virtuous. It doesn't, it's ridiculous
in a way it shows how loving the world can be as well, because those otger primates took her in. this can teach so many people about wildlife and how much we are still so similar to other animals. definately other primates
Wow, what an incredible story. She's remembered all those memories in such great detail at a young age and was able to tell her story very clearly, not easy to do. Really felt her emotion at the end though, it's wonderful she has had a happy ending.
She probably has PTSD from what happened. I have it and the things I went through and the time it happened in, I remember more about it than I do what I did last week. It probably played over and over in her head like a movie until she couldn't forget. 😢
LADbible really knocking it out the park with these interviews. No gimmicks, just a few key questions to set the topic and let the guests speak. I am glad this lady eventually found happiness. She went through what no child should.
They didn’t go through anything as this is obviously a made up story… why has she waited till now when her parents are no doubt dead to come up with this nonsense
@@BabyMango cause literally not one single bit of this makes sense… why are folk abducting 4 year olds just to dump them in the jungle? I’ll answer that for you…. That’s not happening
@@busterbiloxi3833 What exactly is "obvious" that marks her out as a "liar"? Or is it the fact that your personal lack of imagination makes you incapable of accepting her astonishing story as true. Poor you, but that's your loss and your problem.
@@moodyb2 The way she moves her head down and to the side whenever she tells a lie. She loves the attention. Look at the tell - the way her body reacts to being asked about impossible and unusual happenings. The woman is bogus and you are a credulous fool for falling for her bullshit.
man i was crying through the whole thing, especially when she said her daughters taught her how to love people, and how she's found her family through them.
was so lovely to see how she smiled and got so much happier towards the end of her story, when she met with the neighbour and things just got better from there :)
I have this lady’s book in my library. I have read it twice. And will read I will read it again. I love this story. But hearing hear tell the story with passion is a real treat. Bless you.
I had the most stupendous job in the world,and it just fell into my lap. I feel such a kinship with this grand lady. I retired after being the Nightwachman at the Cleveland Zoo for 30 years. I spent more time around animals than humans and they changed me. The rest of you have no idea..you just can't know. I am so grateful for you animal lovers.. you are beautiful and you get it. Planet Earth is a place ruled by ignorance and brutality. You have to be tough to instead seek wisdom and compassion.
@@brigitteking969 I'm sorry, you'll have to wait and see if I get around to writing that book. It really would take a book. Where would I begin? I learned how to change diapers on a baby chimp named Mookie,I saw a baby giraffe being born..too many stories for a smartphone keypad.
@@fretnesbutke3233 use talk-to-text, and don't forget we introduced our children to this so you will be talking to 11 year olds, leaving comments to fully grown adults
I believe she suffered a great deal of trauma during her early childhood. I know that she feels her existence has been validated by how emotional she became when talking about her daughters. Nice story.
What a strong lady she is, she reminds me of my incredibly kind, soft and elegant grandmother. Gentle in spirit but so resilient. She has such beautiful hair too, so glamorous!
@@virtuosiproducoes2591 it was auto correct, thanks for bringing this to my attention - edited. Further edit: lol you say this but the description and Google says Marina, so which is it? I'm confused 😂
This is NOT a documentary, in fact it's notable in that there are NO documents to support any of her assertions, none! This is as much a documentary as Aesops Fables.
Its so interesting how she developed her ability to read people's faces and know whether to trust them or not based on her instincts. Im sure having a lack of human verbal communication helped her develop that skill
That skill is probably only based on trauma and random assumptions. There's no actual way to do that just based on one's instincts. Instincts isn't some crystal ball
I cried at the first minute into the video. This interview made me very emotional, the fear a young child felt being abducted, the grief of loss her parents must have gone through, and the way she described everything and about her fight for survival. I am not sure if she will read this comment, but if she does, I just want to tell her how amazing she is. I love her !❤

@@samsonkjoseph6087 No, but she met and married an English man, moved to England and had a family with him, it was her children who wrote down all her stories and compiled them into a book
What a lovely woman. So childlike still in so many ways. Such beautiful expression and purity not lost to those horrible experiences x that laugh is so sweet!
Wow. What a powerful and moving survival story. I have so many questions.. why was she kidnaped? Why did they leave her in the jungle? Did she try to find her parents later in life? God bless your beautiful soul Marina. x
Probably they were social workers from the government. The thing is that people from outside south America don't know that this is how the government's agencies work in these countries down here😂.
@@Santiago_Handle thanks for responding. Can you help me to understand - why would government agencies work like that - what's the purpose for social workers to take a child and leave her in the jungle?
@@mazoomska I don't think it was the government. My guess is that she was kidnapped for ransom but they dumped her because they got scared of getting caught. I've just read her Wikipedia page and some people think her story might not be true.
Such a beautiful story! I’m so glad Marina found happiness and had children. But I am also so sorry she lost her first family in the jungle. I’m sure they missed her too.
That was a really good interview. Every time when I was asking my self a question, the interviewer just asked her the same thing. Absolutely astonishing! Also a big thank you to marina for sharing her story.
I am absolutely blown away by this story...How extraordinary her life has been in so many ways..yet what brought me tears was when she said the best thing that ever happened to her was her own family...Thank you for such an incredible story...
So moving. Imagining her as child and the abuse, fsr fsr too commoon, and then coming free. And the joy of her daughters....Thank you to her for the truth and shaing of her story.
Such sincerity in her face, her body mirroring the language. Her genuine smile remembering those positive memories of her time with her extended primate family. I believe I would like to read her book.
@AFAskygoddess yea, I don't think it's true. Yes, there are truthful moments, but I think the trauma is warping her mind. There is no way a 4 year old could survive 5 years in a jungle by themself without human interaction. I bet the time scale is much lower she might have been in the jungle a month tops no way 5 years.
I'm lost for words. That's one of the most tragic stories I've ever heard, but one of the most amazing stories of survival I've ever heard. Got to say that was emotional to watch and listen to what a lovely lady! Heart wrenching what she suffered and endured! But heartwarming she ended up having loving daughter's of her own! You can see how it's emotionally affected her. Very brave lady!
I understand what you are saying. Watching this account, there does seem to be alot that happens before she finds clen water or enough food. But, ALOT can happen in a very short time.
This story doesn’t make any sense at all and is almost certainly not true. Clearly she’s been through a lot but I don’t think surviving alone in the jungle without food and water at four years old is one of them..
Marina is such an inspiration. She shines so brightly with warmth and compassion. With how awfully she was treated and to turn out such a beautiful human being is a miracle in my eyes. Only a strong powerful person can turn such darkness into light. I'm moved by this interview. Thank you.
this is why I love my pets and other animals. I know they would never hurt me or betray me the way that humans do. What a heart wrenching but beautiful story
I'm guessing you have domesticated "safe" pets, not wild ones. I'm also guessing your life is pretty comfortable and your pets are well fed because even domesticated animals will eat their owners if they're starving.
@@sinenomine8772 Finally, someone else who sees the world realistically: I'm afraid that (especially in the affluent, Western world) we have raised a generation of people who think nature is a big, stuffed animal when, in fact, nature is "red in tooth and claw" and only as gentle as we train it or allow it to be, under any other circumstances it would rip our throats out and feast on our carcass...
At first I didn't believe her but as I listened to her story I really do believe her. And to think she was able to soften her heart to humans after all that was done to her is really a testimony to forgiveness and healing. God Bless Her.
Same…Although I enjoyed the story, I felt the jungle part was likely slightly over embellished. The more I listen towards the end… I believed her although I doubt it was 4 to 5 years she was there….who knows. Doesn’t take away from the story ❤
@@CMichelleWhite children do not have the same perception of time...I take myself as an example, when I was 6 yo I moved to a new city and lived in a neighborhood and eventually moved to a new one. When i was older i was having a conversation with my parents and told them that i remember spending a year or at least half a year in that first neighborhood, but apparently it was only ONE month...i`m still shocked by this day, cause in my memory i spent SO much time there...
I remember reading her book with my father a couple years ago, such an amazing story, honestly one of my favorite books. It’s so nice to be able to put a voice and a face behind her words. She seems like an amazing woman!

wow i felt her loss when she said she wanted to go back to the jungle. what a wild thing to happen to someone innocent, who were her parents and why was she targeted? then being unfortunately caught by poachers and bad people :( the fact she still had two daughters and learned to love humans thru them, i bet the monkies felt the same about her.

The men? What about the woman that beat and abused her...the men sold her which was horrible but you don't find nothing vile about the woman whipping her?

No one can understand what extreme childhood trauma does to an adult unless you've experienced it yourself. I so understand how she feels when she says that it was the Love of her children that healed her. God bless you Marina

I am a biologist, a Colombian biologist. I live in Bogota and know some colleagues who work with primates. I am not primatologist myself, but I might be able to try to triangulate the specific area to find and solve this mystery. What a story! If somehow, I might be able to help just write me.
Wow can u imagine if you could instigate a reunion
It does sound *very* surreal
This would be so healing for both her and the primates. 🥰🤞🏻
That would be amazing
I hope you do! I am sure Netflix would be very interested.
Marina has such an innocence of the inner child within her, kind, loving, playful and gentle. Amazing of what she experienced, very happy that she had two daughters and that is her family now!
I kept thinking she was about to cry but she just kept smiling and laughing. What an honor it must have been to meet this joy of a woman. The happiness she radiates is touching.
Me, too -- thought she was about to cry, but no.
Her laugh is adorable. Her personality makes her seem so young still
I thought maybe she never learned to cry cause in the jungle you just need to survive

I am really shocked how cruel all the ppl were to her. there are so many - for us seem normal - psychological ill ppl out there. i really wish that humans and animals that lacks just a little bit love and warmth, cross my way. i want to embrace them with my whole heart and wish to carry for them.
i just love Marina, she is such an inner and out beautiful soul. my love goes out to all who needs it so hard.

Agreed they really should.
It has. Tarzan.
They have male version Tarzan.
It also feels a bit like Life of Pi right? Like a mix with Tarzan.
She is a woman, Tarzan wad a man. She is a real star, Tarazan was just imaginative idea.
And this is honestly fascinating because she's bridging a gap between animals and humans, in terms of what we can understand about how they think. When she said "I went towards the young girl because she was nice." That's just what animals do...they go towards the kind hearted person because the vibe feel right and they aren't afraid.

@Broski Snowski That's a lie
It's different with humans and animals. Humans go towards other humans due to the smile and eyes. Animals go due to food.
@Sine Nomine wow i learn everyday
@@KE-yq2eg that's wrong. It is not always about food and some animals don't even care about food as much as how they feel and get reward from that

Marina Chapman is an extraordinary woman. I read her book, The Girl with No Name, several years ago and I really enjoyed it. It’s a miracle that she survived. Now she lives a peaceful life in Great Britain where she’s a mother and a grandmother. ❤

This lady is so lively, all her emotions show so strongly in her face, she has the emotional honesty and vulnerability of a child. It is so wholesome to see a human so authentic withou wearing a mask like most adults....
We wear weary faces because of the evil of others.
There is so much more to her story! She wrote a book about her early life that goes into great detail of how she grew up. It’s a great book called the girl with no name. Definitely recommend it!
My daughter told me yesterday: you know animals are not really wild, like the media want to make us believe, they are actually quite caring
"The media"? Lol.
Did she colour your face in too?

Okay I commented before I heard the rest. Now her voice sounds like a traumatized person 🙁
@@samn6498
Towards the end somehow yes, I would like to claim that there are countless moments from her past, which she keeps mentally catapulting back to this time when she tells or describes them. Who knows how many traumatizing experiences she had during that time. Beginning with the first time of being alone, possibly bad deeds of humans towards the animal (poachers, etc.), as we know them from documentaries or films, up to the unimaginable contrast of the change from nature to humans. I think these are those typical moments in life that no one can understand if they weren't there, which in the end means that you don't even start telling it, even though you'd like to. I can't paraphrase it better, sorry. You are to blame. 👈😄
I worked with a Columbian lady who was about the same age. She spoke in the same way..was one of the nicest people to work with 😂
"honest"
this lady comes across as very youthful yet wise at the same time. she genuinely seems to have forgiven the ppl that let her down so badly
Her laugh and giggles are so pure
There is such a childlike, beautiful energy about her that is preserved through time. This is sad and beautiful all at the same time 😢

I mean she wasn’t raised by humans so.. she probably never matured.
@@Maggot_infesteddyou never matured
@Maggot_infestedd Alot of people raised by humans never mature either
Wow 😮, what a story !
This made me think about why we isolate ourselves so much from the animals. Interacting with them as much as possible and having animals around you helps you in so many levels. I think it's just makes you a better person by helping you to understand the nature, the world, and the life better.
Because this girl was very lucky that she came across the right kind of primate. They didn’t tell her to shreds.
‘* that didn’t rip her to shreds
because sometimes animals snap and tear your face off, happened not only once...
they live on instincts and cannot make a full judgement of their actions, primal instincts override learned behavior
else yes, its awesome to interact with animals but we still need to understand that humans are humans, animals are animals
we are not volatile creatures, they are
respect their behaviour and enviroment, and they do the same
dont make animals act human, nor act like animal
the "smart people" figured it out already as long as time itself as there was many accidents that reinforced this boundary and we need to learn from that
@Shotya yeah I'm not saying we should live in jungles its just we isolate ourselves so much from the nature and the animals to the point that we dont really care about them anymore, though we cannot live without them. I think we're losing a lot of our insights as well because of that.
@@esra72 well the average person doesnt need to interact with animals daily, those who do do their job professionallly, so i think we are safe on that front
only problems we need to worry about is companies doing stuff in the grey
What a pure and beautiful soul this woman is. I love the way her eyes light up and how she giggles when she's recalling certain things. To survive such adversity with her spirit not broken and the light in her eyes intact is amazing. Her story is captivating and teaches a great deal about the humanity of animals and the inhumanity of people.
You should read her book, I read it about 10 years ago, and have read it several times since, it is one of the best books I have read. What she says here is just a tiny fraction of her story, what happens to her after she leaves the jungle is even more amazing
This is the cutest old lady, ever. Her story is awesome too, God bless her.
When wild animals show a child more compassion and love than the people in her life at that time it shows just how loveless this world can be. What an amazing life this lady has had!
Those were angels disguised as animals
Colombia IS a Dangerous country
No it doesn't. It shows how living the world can be.
People so quick to be ashamed of themselves these days, because they think it makes them virtuous.
It doesn't, it's ridiculous
? she was kidnapped you dope lol
in a way it shows how loving the world can be as well, because those otger primates took her in. this can teach so many people about wildlife and how much we are still so similar to other animals. definately other primates
Wow, what an incredible story. She's remembered all those memories in such great detail at a young age and was able to tell her story very clearly, not easy to do. Really felt her emotion at the end though, it's wonderful she has had a happy ending.
Trauma is an interesting thing.
There is a book about it, with a lot more story and details
She probably has PTSD from what happened. I have it and the things I went through and the time it happened in, I remember more about it than I do what I did last week. It probably played over and over in her head like a movie until she couldn't forget. 😢

Its so interesting how she developed her ability to read people's faces and know whether to trust them or not based on her instincts. Im sure having a lack of human verbal communication helped her develop that skill
That skill is probably only based on trauma and random assumptions. There's no actual way to do that just based on one's instincts. Instincts isn't some crystal ball

@AFAskygoddess yea, I don't think it's true. Yes, there are truthful moments, but I think the trauma is warping her mind.

This story doesn’t make any sense at all and is almost certainly not true. Clearly she’s been through a lot but I don’t think surviving alone in the jungle without food and water at four years old is one of them..

@@Raddiebaddie i don’t :/ I tried looking for it on YT bc I watched it on here back in 2013 or so, and it looked kind of old so it’s probably a 15+ year old documentary
@@KatM272 ok thank you i will see what i can find!
What a fascinating, vibrant and lovely woman! Amazing story, thank you for telling it ❤
I am so greatful to come accross this interview. I read her book years ago which told the entire story in detail. It will change you forever. It is the most incredible life experience you could imagine. I highly recomend reading her life story.
What’s the name of the book?
I read it about 10 years ago, and have read it several times since, it is one of the best books I have read. What she says here is just a tiny fraction of her story, what happens to her after she leaves the jungle is even more amazing
@@jessro3579 The Girl With No Name by Marina Chapman, its actually written by her daughters, who got all the stories from her, then compiled them in chronological order
What an incredible story, wishing you all the best Marina
She is an amazing woman. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. I felt so many different emotions hearing her story. I am going to get her book as soon as possible. God bless her and her family
wow i felt her loss when she said she wanted to go back to the jungle. what a wild thing to happen to someone innocent, who were her parents and why was she targeted? then being unfortunately caught by poachers and bad people :(
the fact she still had two daughters and learned to love humans thru them, i bet the monkies felt the same about her.
