Documentary National Geographic Channel - Woman Raised by Monkeys !

I watched this two hour, incredible documentary about Marina Chapman and found her story very moving. She was abducted at the age of 4 and claims that she grew up with monkeys in the Colombian jungle.

Her biological family has never been found. She has no memories or her childhood prior to the abduction. Could her story be possibly true or is she a 'deluded fantasist' ?

aww I wish I had National Geographic. Hopefully it's shown on a channel I have or finds its way online (or ill just get the book). I remember reading about her in metro, will be interestng to see. the pessimist in me says its faked but I am open minded.

What a shame that you don't have the TV chanel. If the story was true, it would be amazing to think that she was bought up by monkies.
Anyway, the documentary was beautifully filmed and narrated. There were also many specialists who made some very pertinent observations.

It is one of the best documentaries that I have seen in a long time.
