Previously unseen footage shows the 'real-life Tarzan' experiencing civilisation for the first time after surviving in the Vietnamese wilderness for four decades.
Ho Van Lang died aged 52 in September following his reintegration into mainstream society after surviving 41 years in the jungle with his father who fled in 1972 when US carpet bombing during the Vietnam War killed half his family.

Lang had lived a remarkable life and made headlines across the globe - but Alvaro Cerezo, an explorer who returned to the jungle with Lang to live there for a week together, believes discovering 'modern life' probably had fatal consequences for the real life Tarzan.
