Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “A woman is like a tea bag–you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.”
Inspired by this adage, Goethe Institut-Manila is presenting the film series “Natural Woman”, a balanced mix of cheerful, romantic, sad, educational, critical and historical films with and about women.

Wings of Hope
Documentary, D 1999, 99 min.

In 1971, on Christmas Eve, an aeroplane carrying 92 passengers crashed into the Peruvian rainforest. Search and rescue teams were unable to find the wreckage and abandoned their search after ten days. Twelve days later the sole survivor of the crash emerged: Juliane Koepcke, then aged 17. 27 years later Werner Herzog accompanies her back to the scene of the accident in their search for physical and emotional traces of the catastrophe. Together they trace the journey of her extraordinary survival.
