About this episode

Morgan Segui's thrilling yet perilous trek in East Timor leads to unexpected challenges and a glimmer of hope.

A French former acrobat moves to the southeast Asian paradise of East Timor. One sunny day, Morgan Segui decides to trek to the top of a nearby sacred mountain. After reaching the summit, however, his thrill-seeking backfires. Caught in the baking late afternoon heat, with an empty water bottle and a long way back down, Morgan is hopelessly lost. But that’s just the start. After a brutal accident in the jungle, he’ll accept his fate… until an unexpected arrival appears through the trees, offering a tiny flash of hope… A Noiser podcast production.
