Children Of The Wild

201756mMovieDocumentary

Many cultures have myths about “wolf children”, taken from their families and who grew up in the wild, either alone or with wolves, bears or other animals. How close are these stories to reality? This program looks at the "monkey boy " John Ssebunya of Uganda, and Kipling's fictional boy, Mowgli.
