I Remember watching this when I was very young in the Philippines. It would be shown for weeks at a time.
I just learned the tragic true story recently. She was the last of her tribe. Every one of her tribe died when the ship she missed sank. Karana's fate was just as sad. Seven weeks after she was rescued she died from illness, contracted from the White men.
