The Incredible Survival Story of the Tongan Castaways

This episode of Wild Curiosity delves into the true story of six Tongan boys who, in 1965, were stranded on the uninhabited island of Atta in the South Pacific for over 15 months. Fueled by a desire for adventure and dissatisfaction with their boarding school's strict environment, they 'borrowed' a fishing boat and set sail, only to be wrecked by a fierce storm. Against all odds, they survived through resilience, resourcefulness, and teamwork, adapting ancient survival methods and building a small, functional society. Their ordeal drew to a close when an Australian sea captain, Peter Warner, discovered them, leading to a remarkable rescue that turned them into international sensations. The story is a testament to human spirit and ingenuity in the face of overwhelming adversity.
