The true "Lord of the Flies"

In 1965, six boys from Tonga spent 15 months on a desert island in the Pacific. The story of the shipwrecked resembles the famous bestseller “Lord of the Flies” - with one difference: it ended well. 55 years later, the survival story gains new relevance. The Dutch historian Rutger Bregman presented these events in a book as an example that humans are good in principle.
