Six Tongan Castaways in Ata Island | OLD DOCUMENTARY CHANNEL 7

Glad the CAMERMAN showed up !

The boys don’t seem to happy to be home. I it’s a re-enactment because the boys were 13-14 years old and these boys look 19-20 years old. Plus they left some of the details out the story making it too and leaving people with a lot of questions. 😊BUT! It is a fantastic story.

Amazing! Like if Nightwish brought you here! 🤘🏻

Dna melayu,budaya ,adat pon Sama,

They left as boys, but come back as men 💪🏻🔥 this is one of the most miraculous stories ever. They were just kids when they got lost. They will be mates for life I bet.

What an incredible documentary and story!! Thank you

How were they deemed as Castaways?
Shipwreck survivors would be more accurate!

This is what real men looked like back in the old days, and they were only between 13 and 19.

“we knew if we became lazy, nature would beat us.”

Someone is lying....

Wow. Amazing story.

Anyone that believes this made up story needs their head checked

I came here frim another video, said the boys' rescuer made a documentary to pay for the boat they stole.

Who else is here because of Nightwish?

Backbenchers 💀💓

Reditt brought me here

There is no limit to human spirit 🤗🤗🥰🥰

Wow I am just learning about this story and this is my first time indulging in this beautiful story & I am just astonished of how amazing it is‼️ absolutely incredible in every way possible, those 6 boys are absolute gems & were the last generation of real men, I couldn’t imagine 6 boys of this generation getting stranded on an island they would be dead within weeks let alone days, for some reason this brought tears to my eyes 😢 & the fact they knew how to help they’re buddy who broke his leg & he winded up being okay is just amazing & the water from the tree trunk was incredible as well very bright young men I wonder how they lived the rest of their days & hope they never lost touch with one another cause being together in such moments should create unbreakable friendships that last a life time, such a beautiful story that I won’t forget 💯 how a film wasn’t made about this is beyond me 🤦🏻‍♂️ if I was a director I would make films about all these real life stories that have happened instead of people making films of nonsense 🤦🏻‍♂️

It's amazing that this story is not more known, those boys are a true inspiration. 15 months and they all survived and worked together. If i were their mom i would be so proud.

This is beautiful..👌💙

I bet these boys had the times of their lives

നോയലിന്റെ കഥ കെട്ട് വന്നവർ ഉണ്ടോ??

Here after reading Human kind book of Rutger Bregman, What' an amazing story.

Came here from the Book ‘Human Kind’

Awesome story

Hy

Can I use this video for education purpose
And giving you full credit

Watching this because Tuomas from Nightwish mentioned them and wrote a song about them for the new album.

Thank you so much for sharing this story. What beautiful scenes you captured.

It's lucky that they had a camera crew with them!

What about the camera crew ?

Humanity is great when it wants to be.

These boys were between 14 and 18 years old at the time of filming. My God, those are some grown looking teenagers.

Then proceed to lock em up for the missing boat.

I wish I could end up in the same situation as them and go full on survival mode in nature. The only thing that I would need is a women too:

Where did they shit?

💚💚💚💚💚💚

The wonderful true story of the Tongan castaways.
My husband Kevin Davids worked with Peter Warner for many years in Tonga. RIP Peter and Kevin.
I still hold an interest in Tonga having brought out the business of Burns Philp in 1990s. Now PFIL in Nuku'alofa . A God given blessing. They were lost but now found.

This is recreational footage, right..?

what a happy ending !!!! love this true story.

Great real castaway story

Someone should make a movie about this!

This is wonderful! I never knew of this true and amazing story! To God be the glory forever and ever!

Great journey ❤️❤️❤️India

Waiting for the new Nightwish album to hear this story through music

1965 ? , I thought that this was the inspiration for the 1963 film . I just checked the year of the film . I thought this happened before the 1963 film .
