Seventeen Days in the Jungle is the extraordinary story of a woman who was born in New York and raised in Argentina, where she became a model and an actress. The only child of a Holocaust survivor, she endured the military junta years, suffered through rape attempts, and lived with suicidal ideation for most of her life. Desperate to "fix" her own depression and trauma, she travels to the Peruvian jungle and embarks on an incredible journey intertwined with both terror and humor.
