About
Like a scene from a chilling horror movie, a young family is trapped in a snowstorm in isolated woods miles away from any help and surrounded by grizzly bears. Snowed in and unable to move their vehicle, the Kims spend 9 long days stranded in south-western Oregon’s remote bear infested wilderness, some 33 miles from the nearest town. Rationing their meager food supplies, surviving off local berries and spending their nights in sub-zero temperatures, the frightened family resort to burning their possessions in an attempt to signal help – and stay alive. Reported missing by friends and family, the Kims strange disappearance makes national news. How did the Kims survive such an extreme environment? What clues did the family leave the heroic search teams? And what happened when dad, James Kim, decided to leave the car and looks for help? After years of silence and with an exclusive, never before seen interview, mom and survivor, Kati Kim, tells her story and gives us a heartfelt insight into how a family Thanksgiving vacation ended in a struggle for survival, an intensive search and rescue effort – and a family tragedy.
