I remember having to watch that movie several times in elementary school. It was heartbreaking. Decades later, even realizing that the movie was probably highly fictionalized, I am still haunted by the memory.
It’s amazing that the woman survived for so many years alone, and sad that she died so soon after being rescued. This cave, if it is indeed where she survived, should yield some very interesting details on her life.
I was hoping someone had heard of this — I’m pretty certain that I had not.
