- Wings of Hope (German: Julianes Sturz in den Dschungel, literally "Juliane's Freefall into the Jungle") is a 1998 made-for-TV documentary directed by Werner Herzog.
The film explores the story of Juliane Koepcke, a German Peruvian woman who was the sole survivor of Peruvian flight LANSA Flight 508 following its mid-air disintegration after a lightning strike in 1971.
Herzog was inspired to make this film since he had narrowly avoided taking the same flight while he was location scouting for Aguirre, Wrath of God; his reservation had been canceled due to a last minute change in itinerary.
In the film, Herzog and Koepcke visit the scenes of her flight, crash, and escape from the jungle. They take a flight from Lima to Pucallpa (though with a different airline), and sit in the same row of seats where Koepcke sat during the crash. They unearth many large fragments of the plane in the jungle, and then visit the river routes where she traveled for 10 days on foot, and the small village where she was eventually found by three men, one of whom appears in the film.

Juliane is my granddad’s cousin. So proud of her & the fact her story still gets carried on 🧡✨
coole sache
Johnny Weissmuller was my granddad's cousin. He spent years in a JUNGLE playing Tarzan The Ape Man in the 1930s! He and his brother Peter SAVED 11 people from a sinking ship on Lake Michigan, bc Johnny was an Olympic Gold medal swimmer. THE best in the world! JW was a HERO for doing that but he was humble about it!

Stuff You Should Know podcast sent me here.
Same.
Same here 😅
Me too
Only Werner Herzog could properly make a film like this.
It was very well told
Imagine falling 10,000 feet (2 miles as deep as the Titanic) in the middle of the night, in a terrible storm and then not only surviving the landing but to be able to walk through the Amazon Rain Forrest for 11 days dodging all kinds of animals, insects with all of her injuries and maggots in her arm and yet still being able to survive!!!
Yea she’s got my vote for greatest survival story of all time!!
She would be my #1 pick to be on Survivor with!!!!
She fell 2 miles. A Serbian flight stewardess fell 6.3 miles and survived, too. So... it happens.
This story is special for us because we live in Pucallpa, Perú. One of our friends' father was part of the recovery search
I came here after reading a brief synopsis of her story and wanting to hear more. The fact that she grew up in the jungle and knew it's ways was obviously critical to her survival. Just partway through, but fascinating! And how crazy that Herzog was almost on the same plane.
I came here from Instagram.
She wrote a book that goes into a lot of detail. Highly recommend. "When I fell from the Sky"
@@jessicahorn6677 Thanx! I was asking earlier about a book!
Reddit for me
Not sure that is crazy because isn't that pretty much the whole reason he wanted to make the documentary and would've been so fascinated by what happened?
I was just reading about this on Reddit and they had a link to this... truly a amazing and incredible life experience... Bless you
here from the same post!
Me too!
Also here from reddit!
Didn't see the link, but found it 🙂🙂 here goes!
Same
According to reports, as many as 14 other people survived the crash, but were either too injured to move, or stayed where they were in the futile hopes of being rescued. That woman is amazing to forward.
For cereal?
Her story is amazing but the documentary I found to be completely flat and boring.
Oh how sad
@@Sol-Cutta try the story on I shouldn't be Alive, Amazing
@@sweshrung Wheaties!!!!
She is soo pretty. The way of her hairstyle, wondrous eyes, and perfectly fitting eyeglasses just adds something so original and lovely to her visage. Eff anyone who says we must all look like the Kardashians to matter.
😳
lool
It's GARBAGE like the Kardashians that is DESTROYING our society! I never watched that CRAP, but I researched it, bc it is part of my agenda to seek...truth.
Though the same. Very cute and sweet.
Why put down other women to elevate another? We are all pretty in our own ways.
Herzog the masterful storyteller, and no more so than in his documentaries. Quite moving and inspiring. Juliane Koepcke survived where many would have perished because she's made out of strong stuff!
The man who saved her did so with out a fee. He had to pay for a ride back when he was in the same situation. No good deed goes unpunished. I hope he found/finds pride in his life, he certainly earned it.
Absolutely disgraceful and inhumane of those men. I hope they get stranded one day and no one helps them.
@@tecdeccollectmahekquaterfi4710 You can also bet those pieces of garbage asked a stiff price from the film crew to buy the shotgun back.
Lucky that it was the man/men that found her in particular and not others like the one's you're talking about. They probably would have done unspeakable things to her...
@@Cheximus Yes, 'civilized' men can be DEMONS!
Those A-holes that wouldn’t give him a ride are pathetic
I couldn't fathom the night time in the Amazon. Holy shit.
SYSK gang❤ what an incredible journey
I am so glad they did an episode on this.
She had a .00001% chance to survive the fall alone. But only someone with her survival skills and willpower could have made it out.
makes you wonder if a couple of people may have... but wondered in the wrong direction.
@@lcarus42 Up to 14 did survive the crash but succumbed to their injuries waiting for rescue.
@@Tipper2020 Yes but nothing is known/said of them. Did they all die at the crash site? Die of injuries? Hunger? Thirst? Malaria? Would be interesting to know.
I was in an Outward Bound Survival, Leadership Training in BC, in 1974. 4 mos training, which gave me nightmares as well! It made a boy into a man though!
It’s said that up to 11 people may have survived the crash but did not survive their injuries.
Wow!! This woman is truly an incredible human being. What a story, what a life. RIP to all those who perished on that flight.
The fact that Juliane can get on an airplane and fly is absolutely astonishing. And that she sat in the same seat as she did on the original flight when returning to the crash sight in the jungle is just as remarkable. This woman is extremely brave and has balls of steel.
She is German!
Her dad had been a stowaway on a ship and walked to the jungle from some other country in South America. She got here dad's genes.
Well it looks like that stowaway past finally caught up with him.
Heheheh
The single greatest documentary I’ve ever seen & not a week goes past without thinking about it. If this doesn’t help you re-access your own life and hone your own self-awareness more, then absolutely nothing else will. Willpower is impossible to bottle & some people are just not meant to die.
some people are just not meant to die...very true
Methinx you mean reASSess? lol
@@deesoqe5372 and some people were NOT meant to FLY!
I would also recommend Grizzly Man, another of Herzog's documentaries:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grizzly_Man
Sold! Im watching it.. Just finished Werners Happy People, A year in Taiga which was amazing as well.
How has this not been made into a full blown hollywood movie? What an amazing story.
This is far better than any Hollywood movie I've ever seen.
They did make a shitty Italian movie in the 70's and it turned her off from dealing with movie producers for awhile. But there is a new version in development with Sophie Turner possibly starring.
@@zippymufo9765 ummmmm
@@wasupman777 hmmmmm?
@@mr.blackhawk142 uurrghh!!!
Wow. The amount she had learned to survive love and accept the jungle as home saved her life. And her going back to save more of this beautiful place..she was meant to survive..a person whom loves and cares for this planet to preserve not destroy..she is so amazing...she is a hero to me for sure..I wish I was half the human she is..just wow.my heart goes to her and her loss of her mother and everyone else on board..but the will she shown at just 17..the determination, God I can't say enough..I would bow in her presence for sure
Reading your comment says...
You're Hero Too In Your Own Way...
EARTH IS FLAT! TV is BS! NO planets!
Jessica love you for this message. ❤️😇
What a fascinating woman! Incredible strength and fortitude. Great film!
What an astounding story - so well told by Werner. WOW.
An amazing story to survive this is nothing short of a miracle, Good documentary by the brilliant Werner Herzog.
Here bc of Morbid, just listening to her story was unbelievable!
Same!
Same!
to mention one of numerous reasons Julianes Sturz survived : in-depth knowledge of the jungle and all it's dangers and alleged dangers. 31:03 the two dogs are playing to the cameras in a most adorable way.
Ha Ha! I just saw the Border Collies playing! I love dogs! They are the most LOVING, and LOYAL of beings!
Bro Julieanes Sturz means Juliane's fall💀
@@paveantelic7876 That I didn’t know !! Uncanny ….
@@MorganHayes_Composer.Pianist No, that is not her name. Her name is Juliane Koepcke
What an incredible lady, how she survived is astonishing. All those flies would have driven me mad!
We don't know how strong we are until tested and pushed BEYOND our limits! I went through a VERY gruelling 4 month leadership/survival training in the wilderness of BC, Canada. I was just 20 at that time! I'm 69 now, and still keep in shape, mostly because of my vegan diet. I now live in a rural area, but I want to be more isolated from this MESS we call 'civilization'!
@@mr.blackhawk142 So did the Unabomber. Doesn't make you a good or special person. And impeding into the wilderness because you "don't like civilization" is not an act of love for nature, it's a further destruction of natural spaces by humans, who would do better to look for more efficient usage of space instead of this unstoppable drive to claim more and more parts of nature for our own selfish individualistic needs. American suburban scrawl is basically the same as your ideal. Making your own little fortress to hide away from all the other horrible humans you deem bad, icky, but most off all terrifying to interact with. Instead of connecting with other people, creating cohesive and interdependent communities and cohabiting space more efficiently. European cities do this better, as well as many asian cities, where it is understood that you can't just slash and burn yourself away from those nasty neighbours forever.
An amazing story. She was very brave to go through this again.
Lee, THAT was my VERY 1st thought when I started watching!
I have PTSD and the whole time I was watching this I was just wondering how she could do it. How could she basically relive the most traumatic experience of her life?
@@OUATDW she’s built different
@@OUATDWI read in an interview with her that she found the filming cathartic. She was never offered any psychological help ( which was usual back then) and this helped her work through a lot.
@@OUATDW She lost her loving mother as well, so this is a DOUBLE WHAMMY!
I dropped a link to this great documentary on a recent post about it on Reddit. This is worthy of being watched over and over by so many.
What an amazing account of this person's shocking struggle to find salvation. She is truly a remarkable person for whom I have tremendous respect. I am grateful for the strength she displayed in returning to the jungle to tell her story of survival. Herzog's film presented her fight to survive with great clarity and vision.
That horrible experience gifted her with CHARACTER she will carry to her grave! I can see that in her! It's something SORELY lacking in most people now!
My worst nightmare is being in a plane crash. Anytime I fly, all I do is fight negative thoughts of crashing and that being the end. The fear leading up to death, the screaming that may occur, the fact that my family will never see me again, and everything I own and am will be stuck in time. The heartache of family and friends. Questions of what's in the afterlife. This fear has drastically reduced my desire to explore and fly.
I wonder how cabin crews do their jobs knowing their number could be up anytime.
I came across her story, and I can't imagine the fear, screams, loss of life, and then a survivor with no physical deformity. She is amazing to have handled her situation with such bravery and lived to tell the story.
Well they don’t live their life in fear. At any point your number could be up.
Hebrews 2 verse 15
Werner is by far my favourite feature documentary filmmaker.
And Juliane's story is unbelievable, almost supernatural upon first contact. But as others have said when you get into the details: her background, the nature of her place within this disaster; it starts to all make sense.
Really truly excellent stuff.
No 👎 God had a hand in this and you know it none of her skills would have saved her from the fall out of the plane it self
@@FollowerOfGODBeliverOfJESUS that’s why God couldn’t save many people who only fell 2m off a wall but broke their neck right
@@FollowerOfGODBeliverOfJESUS 😂 tell your god to save more …
@Milo Nowhere in Christian teaching or in holy scripture does God say that people never die a physical death. Miracles happen to believers as well as non-believers. Miracles are signs of God's action, even morally convincing signs, yet they remain signs the intellect isn't compelled to accept. "To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible."
St. Thomas Aquinas
@heekyung Kim The God you mock is the same God that REVEREND Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. believed in. Happy MLK day.
An incredible story, thankyou for making this documentary💖💖
Today, they would have spent millions to collect every piece of that plane. The Flight of the Valkyries gave me goose bumps. Herzog The Master.
A+ video!
Awesome documentary, what a story!
Thank you so much for uploading the video!
The fact that she was conscious during her fall shows what a brave person she is.She was an amazingly brave teenager, and even braver adult. I just fell in love with the intelligent, articulate, self aware, and compassionate person that she is. I wonder if her mother was found, and if so, where she was laid to rest? I am so glad that she lived and got to carry on her parent's important work. I know she misses her mother, that part was so very sad.
Her mother was found the next month according to Wiki
Juliana, beautiful soul, thankyou for sharing your strugle to fight for life that finally you attaind it.
A story of a brave girl.
I cried on the scene when you see your helper as if he was an angel.
Trully God is aive in your experience.
Alleluia.
And I thankyou for aking this documentary Mr Film Director, I like the narrative at the end of the film, hope emerge from wirhin hearing the voiceover andseeing the light on the bacground of saving path.
Bless you all.
Greetings fromJakarta, Indonesia.
Great work by Herzog, one of my favorites. Moral of the story: Know your "Jungle" and NEVER give up.
An absolutely amazing story. When I heard about this story I immediately thought that this seems like a story Herzog should turn into a film. I was unaware that this documentary existed. I cannot imagine going through that experience and not losing my sanity. This is "truth is stranger than fiction" with a vengeance .
Yes Greg! This amazing adventure puts my little problems in PERSPECTIVE!
I recognize yer UserPic! The "Alien" from "When The Earth Stood Still". Too bad in REALITY..... EARTH IS FLAT and IMMOVABLE like it states in the Bible.
GREG, I've researched MK Ultra mind control, and Juliane BLACKED OUT a few times. That is a God-given gift to save our sanity, as well as going into 'shock' in traumatic situations. My POINT is, we do NOT remember traumatic events, but only what happens before and after the trauma.
I've heard of this story before, when I was a kid I saw a movie on TV based on this story , called " Miracles Still Happen" , it came out in 1974 , and the channel always showed it around the holidays !
Wow thank you for helping me to remember what the movie was called! The scene with the maggots stayed with me forever and when I came across this documentary, it reminded me of “Miracles Still Happen”!
What a story. SO sad but amazing. Its as if the spirt of the jungle caught her in its arms. Thank you.
Edit, RIP to those who died.
I have watched about 10 airline disasters on here, but I had NO DESIRE to fly even before I saw them!
Thank you for sharing this. It was beyond heartwarming
incredible! impressive!
thankyou for uploading!
There should be a remake of this story. This is a great survival story, one of fear, determination & hope. To endure all what she did. Is truly remarkable. Thankful to be alive. Count my blessings everyday, whereby before, just took life for granted. Truly humbled.. ❤️
What an amazing story. What fortitude the lady demonstrated not only in surviving the initial crash but then journey. And then to return to the scene.
Her story of surviving not only the plane Crash but the trek thru the forest. I’m surprised this hasn’t been made into a movie!
It has… unfortunately a bad one. It’s briefly mentioned in the documentary
good point .. this deserves to be told in a well made movie .. I'm surprised none of the big directors ever took on this story
What movie?
@@crystalnips3978 I Miracoli accadono ancora
HollyWEIRD will subvert it for its own agenda. I'd much rather watch the rest of the video.
Thank you for sharing this.
Really amazing the real story of this documentary film.
Saw Verner Herzog in an recent interview with Piers Morgan during which he mentions this film. So worth watching. Touches themes of chance, tragedy, miracles, human fortitude. She is a strong, kind, self-effacing person. And Herzog is a great filmmaker.
Piers Morgan sucks
Bravo! What a great story and a great telling, and I am sure Juliane is grateful to Werner for making this film, especially considering the poorly made first film about her ordeal. Aguirre is one of my favorite films ever. Very interesting how the filming of Aguirre is intertwined with this real life story.
IIRC, I saw Aguirre: The Wrath Of God many years ago? It was filmed just after this plane crash. (1972)
In the ultimate survival/psychology tome “Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies and Why” by Dr Lawrence Gonzales this is the most outstanding story in a book brimming with outstanding stories. Within the same ten year period there was also another globally famous case about a young lady who survived a quadruple homicide on her family’s sailboat and lived to tell her story. Seeing Juliane actually walk us through something I visualized so often was incredible.
I was watching an amazing true story of this ladies will to survive. It’s called Alison- on Amazon Prime
EARTH IS FLAT! No Glowball. TV is NOT 'reality'.
@@angelamartin2811 Thanx! Too bad I just CANCELLED my Prime a few days ago. Too much garbage on there! I only got it to see 4K/HDR images, but RUclips has that for free.
Regarding the story about the girl on the sailboat, didn’t the guy who murdered them make them think he was helping them, then when he saw she was alive, he just left her to die?
Gonzales is a terrific writer. He's written two of my favorite novels, but seems to have abandoned fiction for reportage. I have the book you mentioned, but I don't think I read her chapter. I'm going to do that right now.
Unbelievable....great documentary and amazing story. Cant believe its not more known about
This HEROIC tale does NOT fit HollyWEIRD's FEAR-based agenda.
This is a great documentary, thank you so much for sharing 👍👍🙂
All I can say I WOW. What a story! Saw Werner Herzog on Meateater Podcast earlier today and had to check this out. Miraculous survival story.
Outstanding documentary!!
What an incredible story. May Julianna continue to have a wonderful life.
What an amazing feat of strength! God bless. 💗
Thank you for uploading this! We need more accessibility for lesser known films!
Whar an amazing survival story of a truly intelligent & experienced young girl!! A miraculous true story.
Yes! She was only 17 when all this happened to her! It obviously strengthened her character immensely!
i cannot stop crying. God bless us. Hope everyone can keep safe and healthy.
What a fascinating & well-done documentary! What a courageous then young woman & later still courageous & brilliant human being! I am AWED by this story and the events in it. Great filming & story-telling. WOW. I want to know where Julianes is today. Did she ever have any children? It doesn't seem like she did but I wish she and her husband did. Anyway. if anyone has any additional/update on this incredible woman, kindly provide it here. Otherwise I'll google, as I did this documentary. "Wings of Hope." Unforgettable!
Juliane is only 1 year younger than me! It's easier to relate to 1971 for me bc I remember I flew to Hawaii in January of 1971, then flew to L.A. in June to see a girl I met in Waikiki earlier. I was 18 then. I haven't flown much since then. I have read/watched a few airliner horror stories on YT lately too. I like my feet on the...GROUND! I'm actually EARTHED as I type this, and so is my cat.
Thank you. That was nicely done.
amazingly moving
Never heard this story! Why oh why?
The Will of the human spirit is INCREDIBLE
Thank you
What I find most shocking, is after almost 30 years, there's still so much to find in the jungle, like I would have expected it to be mostly gone, dissolved by the humidity and completely overtaken by large trees.
Thanx, I checked the DATE of this video, and it's 1998. It's now 2022, and I wonder if Juliane is still alive at 68 yrs old?
@@mr.blackhawk142 Yup, she's still around and they're developing a new movie based on her experience.
@@zippymufo9765 Thank you, I'm only a year older than her, so I can relate to the early 70s era when this happened. I also had a traumatic experience at age 17 in the Detroit area! I took survival training 3 years after that.
Hi Anne, airplanes are made of mostly aluminum, or titanium, which does not break down as fast as steel metal. Plus, a big destroyer of metal objects is the sun. The remains of the plane were in the DENSE jungle where the sun rarely got through.
Thx for uploading
Amazing story!
Oh my God her parents would’ve been so proud… Of course they created the situation for her/not trying to blame them, but how amazing that she used all the skills they gave her to save herself. She is an amazing combination of intellect, bravery, physical agility, etc.. my definition of superhero
RWJ brought me here. 😮 what a wild story.
Thank God Werner Herzol never got on that plane or we wouldn't have had his into the abyss death row documentaries which were brilliant
Wow..amazing story.
I saw the movie based on this incident a number of years ago and one scene stuck with me. The scene where the rescuers used kerosene to remove the maggots. I thought of the movie periodically over the years but didn't remember the name of it... and just like that today this documentary popped up. Now I know what true account of what happened. Thank you.
She did removed the maggots. Not the rescuers. She had experience with this
I use engine starting fluid to kill hornets. It's actually less dangerous than pesticides. Ether works on them too, so it works.
What a fascinating story.
If I ever met Werner Herzog, I think my prime objective would be to prove that he actually does know how to pronounce the word jungle.
Incredible 🥰
She looks so at home there. I’d be screaming and flapping my arms at all the insects
You wuss ! 🙄
there’s something so bleak about herzog’s work that resonates with me. like a vibration of the soul.
Such a tough and brave lady, snake and bat are scary to most people, she can hold them in her hand
I don't mind bats so much! AAMOF I just freed one last summer. He was caught in my sticky fly trap hanging from the ceiling! Snakes are another story! They are the CREEPIEST creatures alive!
I saved a bat that got caught in my sticky fly trap hanging from the ceiling!They are cute little varmints!
There seems to be a strong resonance between these two cultures.
Incredible person and story.
Herzog was almost in that plane crash, but a last minute change in his itinerary prevented that. This documentary wouldn't exist otherwise.
Amazing story! God bless her!
Amazing survival & goes to show the importance of knowledge.
Amazing story
@39:43 she talks about following the water. When I was in Outward Bound Leadership program, our group of 7 with one 'staff' leader, were lost in the Chehalis River basin, and I kept saying to the group to get to HIGHER ground! After almost a whole day lost, hiking in dense, and WET underbrush, with lotsa devil's club, the staff 'leader' finally acted on my advice, and we went up and soon found a ridge with a hiking/fishing trail that came out eventually to the Sasquatch Inn. (Maple Ridge, BC). This was a 'test' for us to see how we reacted to 'adversity'. I PASSED with flying colours, but I did break down in tears one day when I went off to be alone! We had been hiking 'full speed ahead' all day in the rain, and I was EXHAUSTED, but as Group Leader, I was also the chef who had to make a fire and dinner for all 8 members! The 3 different staff members we had in camp all said that our group was THE BEST hiking group in that camp so far! We were Group 60 in 1973. The camp opened in 1967 IIRC, and CLOSED shortly after an initiate died in camp, doing the morning swim in October. Decades later I Googled it, and the brother of the fella who died said he was deathly afraid of water for some reason. That happened while our group was on our FINAL 10 day, canoeing, portaging, hiking trip, (OUT OF CAMP) and none of us knew about it AFAIK?
Thanks Mr.Ballen
Most incredible story of survival I've ever heard.
This is just a masterpiece
Excellent.
Incredible!!!
Toughness
Intelligence
Endurance
Inspiration
I dont know why, but i thought she would speak english. I guess i never thought about it. What a sirvivor she is! Amazing that she survived.
Juliane has no idea how I travelled her story with full recognition that the eternal God was there with her for I believe, her mother's prayer and journey that let her to you Werner Herzog. Thank you Werner for the depth this went. Well done. Juliane, I thank God for your story.
Great documentary. There is a podcast called morbid that has recently covered juliana's story I highly recommend 👌
Absolutely remarkable woman.
I'm surprised this is not made into a Movie.
There is a movie made in the 70's I believe, I'm watching it now. It's called Miracles Still Happen. It's very poor quality according to today's standards. But, if you are able to view black and white and blurry films, you'll like this one. In this documentary, she is asked about the movie. It looks like she is humorously imitating some of the scenes making me think that not all of what happened in the movie, actually happened to her during here ordeal.
what can i say? a really amazing woman. it's really amazing.
Very good.
Allegedly, as many as 14 passengers survived the fall (due to thunderstorm updrafts and triple-canopy jungle slowing their descent) but the others all died from their injuries or from awaiting rescue that never came.
You know Werner was supposed to be on the flight?
@ 48 mins. in, we learned how to make a 'hootch' (shelter) out of tree limbs, and branches. We also learned that laying them on the floor to sleep on insulated us from the cold wet ground and they also 'breathed' so we would be drier that way also.
Otimo documentario!
