Probably 10 years ago in elementary school i watched what i think must have been a slide show adaptation of a sci-fi short story. I remember it being really good, but i cant remember the name or find it online.
It followed the life of a man who lived on an alien planet where the lifespan for a human was 7 days, if i remember right it was a primitiave society and all the people lived in caves.
There was some kind of conflict between 2 cave colonies, where one fought the other and the source of the conflict was that one of the caves allowed the people who lived there to have a lifespan of a few extra days.
I think it was only safe to be outside for something like 2 hours a day.
In the end the main character finds a crashed spaceship.
Anyone have any idea what this could be?
