THE LOST CHILDREN (NETFLIX REVIEW) 2024

January 25, 2025

If you are searching for a nice simple documentary movie based on real life incidence, then this will be worth your while.

This documentary movie recounts a real-life incident that occurred in Chile. The reenactment was so realistic and convincing, reminding me of another emotionally powerful movie called Society of Snow (2023), based on a tragedy in Spain. In The Lost Children, a private helicopter was tasked with flying a family from their base to the city. Onboard were the pilot, a mother with three children, and an additional family member. Shortly after takeoff, a technical malfunction occurred, causing the helicopter to crash deep into a vast forest. The main struggle was figuring out how to search for the crash site and recover the bodies of the passengers, as the forest was enormous. The film beautifully portrays the harrowing journey of survival, as the survivors endured over 40 days and nights without food or water. The storyline was so moving that it almost brought me to tears by the end. To see how the story unfolds and whether everyone survives, you’ll have to watch the film.

The 1h 36 minutes movie documentary was directed by Orlando von Einsiedel, Jorge Duran and Lali Houghton, they featured actors like Dan Garza, Stacy Ines, and Eduardo De Los Reyes.

To my verdict I would score this movie 8/10. It was a very nice and touching docuseries, one that will leave you breathless and speechless, praying and hoping till the very end that the kids will be found. The story opened my eyes to so many lessons and to the fact that when you time wasn’t up, then nothing can take you off the surface of the earth.
