Now a motion picture starring Daniel Radcliffe.

'I heard the rustle again, too close and too real to ignore. I clutched the flashlight, stuck my head out of the mosquito net and found myself face-to-face with a jaguar.'

Four travelers meet in Bolivia and set off into the Amazon rainforest on an expedition to find a hidden tribe and explore places tourists only dream of seeing. But what begins as the adventure of a lifetime quickly becomes a struggle for survival when they get lost in the wilds of the jungle. The group splits up after disagreements, and Yossi and his friend try to find their own way back without a guide.

But when a terrible rafting accident separates them, Yossi is forced to survive for weeks alone in one of the most unpredictable environments on the planet. Stranded without a knife, map or survival training, he must improvise shelter and forage for wild fruit to survive. As his skin begins to rot from his feet during raging storms and he loses all sense of direction, he wonders if he will make it back alive.

Ghinsberg's terrifying true account of his ordeal is simply impossible to put down.

A harrowing true story of adventure and survival.
