Four travelers meet in Bolivia and set off into the heart of the
Amazon rainforest, but what begins as a dream adventure quickly
deteriorates into a dangerous nightmare, and after weeks of
wandering in the dense undergrowth, the four backpackers split up
into two groups. But when a terrible rafting accident separates him
from his partner, Yossi is forced to survive for weeks alone
against one of the wildest backdrops on the planet. Stranded
without a knife, map, or survival training, he must improvise
shelter and forage for wild fruit to survive. As his feet begin to
rot during raging storms, as he loses all sense of direction, and
as he begins to lose all hope, he wonders whether he will make it
out of the jungle alive. The basis of an upcoming motion picture
starring Daniel Radcliffe, Jungle is the story of friendship and
the teachings of nature, and a terrifying true account that you
won’t be able to put down.
'No shoes, no vehicle, no food, no water and no idea. I'd always
been one of those blokes who ragged on people who found themselves
lost in the desert. Now I was one of those people. It was harsh,
desolate country for a man all alone in bare feet. Nevertheless, I
started to walk. And walk. The more I walked, I figured, the less
distance I'd have to travel to get found. It was faulty logic, but
it was the best I could come up with.'In April 2006 the news broke
of an amazing feat of survival by a white man in one of the most
inhospitable areas of Australia. Ricky Megee was found sheltering
by a dam on a remote cattle property in the Northern
Territory.After being abducted on the Buntine Highway then left for
dead, Ricky had walked for ten days in bare feet through
unforgiving terrain in blistering heat. Stumbling upon a dam, he
set up camp there and survived for almost three months on leeches,
grasshoppers, frogs and plants, losing 60 kilograms in the
process.In Left for Dead, Ricky Megee gives a full and frank
account of his abduction, survival and extraordinary rescue.
Vividly told, it's a gripping and yet inspiring story of how one
man endures a terrible ordeal and lives to tell the tale.
