The grandpa monkey forced her to drink the pond water, so she would vomit what she ate that caused her stomach pain. Amazing!

[@KatK2]

the way her face lights up upon hearing the noises of her first family 🥺❣

[@finlaysmithies5878]

I just met her today. It's all true, the way she described her experience, with tears welling up in her eyes. It was just so amazing to hear her story. I didn't realize she was even well known until I searched "Colombian disappearances". She told me about her life whilst we were just doing the dishes in our local church in Bradford and I definetly believe her, it was just so amazing.

What an INCREDIBLE human being

[@helenpinson894]

This lady is delightful, wish more people had that sweet nature like she has. God bless all your days with sunshine.❤😊

[@ari3lz3pp3lin]

I want to read her book so badly and hold onto it for my children. She's an amazing person and seems very kind at heart. Her daughter seems kind as well...obviously idk but they just do seem kind and genuine. IMO on a shallow note her daughter is also one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen! 0.0 The thing about the grandpa gorilla helping her with the water is so cool! The mention of God at the end is the "cherry on top" for me personally. She was able to have that feeling and faith even without being around people for all those years (and being around shitty people most other times growing up). I'm in awe of how inspiring and immense her words are and her outlook on her experience. Just how far she came is wonderful. I hope she can find some of the monkeys she grew up with.

[@darinakuchinskaya1164]

I thought the same hearing about God, it was a cherry on top!! God def told those monkeys to take care of her. He's so caring, in my life He has protected my aunt through a cat several times. And my brother through a dog when he was 4years old! God is defiantly our Father!

[@misschina9305]

Ive just finished the book. What a remarkable lady x

[@a.d.595]

Found the book in my local library, and after reading it(it makes a fabulous and awesome read), I'm 100% sure she's telling the truth...my God what a life she had when most of kids still live with their parents ,she d already experienced survival in the jungle,in the city,prisoner in a brothel and with a mafiosi family,again locked in a convent ,plus escaping death many times.Marina is definitely a survivor and much respect to her and all her family.

[@deborahh2556]

I didn't fully believe the story myself until I saw this video. Now I truly believe her. I am still amazed and dumbfounded though at how a small child could survive what she did. I don't know how she didn't die of sheer fright. But when she mentioned God looking down on her! Ah yes! The Lord watched over her! He knew some day she would believe. Columbia was a horrible place in those days. I can't imagine any precious baby going through that. Truly man is most evil in his heart. How desperately we need the Lord and His redemptive work in our hearts.

[@Lexicoley1826]

How wonderful God was watching over that little girl and allowed her to survive her scary ordeal… while so many other children die horrible, painful, lonely deaths every other day! Hallelujah! 🙏🏻

[@kabutothe8578]

I have just become aware of the existence of Marina Chapman and i can already Tell that she's gonna one of the most inspiring women I've heard the story of. I wish her happiness and a joy for the ethernity and his family too.

[@akikoncrystal]

I really respect her. Her strongness encourages me.

[@jesickarodriguez]

I'm so intrigued by marina and her experience but also because her personality is so likable i can imagine if I spent any time with her in person that years can go by and I wouldn't even notice she has such positive energy radiating off her.

[@Naxafa]

18:20 I think that the fact she had already learned a language before is key so she could re-learn it later...amazing experience. Looking forward learning more.

[@elizabethleboho9752]

It would be interesting if she does a DNA journey, she might find her family

[@ncf1]

amazing woman.

[@ivoneliu9714]

How nice! How touching! God bless her! God bless her family! God bless the jungle! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@beverlytrader9363]

Yes,her saying the male grandpa monkey was the leader us so accurate, there is a king leader male who protects the females and babies.

[@AuntyShaPray]

Please please approach a Hollywood producer to make a film about Marina. Her book is amazing

love these people

[@beverlytrader9363]

I have been watching monkey videos from Cambodia for a few years now and shocked to hear monkeys were intelligent enough to raise a human child, young female juvenile monkeys actually kidnapp baby monkeys and want to be a mother, so I'm not shocked to hear about the book. Will purchase it.

[@jburche2]

They didn't share food with her, she said she picked up what they dropped. The nasty ugly vermin are so greedy they try to carry more than they can

[@biblical-events]

She didn't know she had a face 🤯🤯🤯

I think the sweet fruit she was talking about was tamarind

[@abbasma75]

Yes It is

Wow, we have a lot to learn from this beautiful lady. And, how the immune system really works.

[@dik5039]

Shame there is music in the background going thru the interview. Takes away from the interview.

[@LAsuperette]

The microphone recording failed due to technical reasons. That s why i spent ages transcripting the interview and you can read subtitles in english (and i translated them in French too) by clicking the CC logo

[@elizethompson8627]

It is at a festival

[@carolhewett3756]

This story has to be made into a movie, its so facinating. Even as a 5yo she must have had some human habits or behaviors that were of interest to the monkeys. In otherwords some cross species learning. I wonder if she remembers any such instances whereby the monkeys learned something from a human. Ive got to get the book.

[@onelove132]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@moonoggin]

Did she ever point to in a book or images and find the monkey species that helped her? Capuchin she said. To me this species looks the most human. Will a dna test ever be done to find out who her parents were. What a wonderful woman and great interview

[@gunillajohnson9727]

I find her accent in English intriguing. It doesn't sound like a Spanish accent, which would lend credence to the fact that she didn't fully grow up in a Spanish-speaking environment. And yet, if she had not spent her first 4-5 years speaking a human language, she wouldn't be able to speak at all.

[@andpop2157]

She is lovely old lady but there is something wild in her eyes

[@aryaazadi2119]

Lucky lucky beautiful woman. (when with the monkeys.. humans UGH

Yes, that is humans biggest downfall. Our inability to exist in harmony with the natural environment around us.

[@BurnOmatic]

quite literally Female Tarzan of the Jungle :D

[@woah6958]

I can't quite understand the part where she said she found out about what happened to the other kidnapped children and how they had their knees broken..Unless it was a generalisation of what happened to kidnapped children at that time...maybe stolen children were purposely injured and forced to beg and give the money to their "owners"?..that kind of thing does happen in poor countries.

[@vivienneyeki3894]

Maybe it was retribution to people not complying with drug cartel demands. It may have been a lesson to other villages to comply.

[@woah6958]

@@vivienneyeki3894 that makes sense.

[@Remata90]

All this happened in Colombia. There's a perpetual war happening in the deep there, si horrors you may imagine can happen there. War is brutal, help out my countries and protect mature from the companies that steal natural resources, they feed wars and wars feed them.

She didn’t climb that tree like a monkey she climbed it like a 62 year old who’s in great shape and everything she says about how monkeys act is pretty much common knowledge I know all that just from watching documentaries

This doesn't sound like BS, this is complete BS. She is deranged. just look at that woman. She is not well. If YOU believe her story it's only because SHE believes the story. In her mind, she is NOT lying, but telling the truth. I straight up call BS.
