It’s time for us to get to know all the characters in Flight 29 Down. Every week we will watch two episodes, one at school and one at home. Make a short summary and get to know all the characters. We will discuss the story, every Friday, in groups.
”A group of teens are stranded on an island in the South Pacific after they crash their plane in a tropical storm. They were on their way to a camping adventure together. A video camera, powered by a solar battery charger, allows the kids to talk about themselves and their difficult everyday struggles, the island, and each other.”
