“I hope they’re coming to rescue us…” National Geographic has debuted an official trailer for a fascinating rescue documentary film titled Lost in the Jungle, telling a remarkable true story just like the other doc The Rescue before. After a deadly plane crash strands 4 young siblings deep in the Colombian rainforest, a dramatic rescue mission unfolds, uniting Indigenous trackers and the military in a race against time. Four Indigenous siblings survived 40 days in Colombia’s jungle after a plane crash in May 2023. The film shows their story through footage, recreations, and animation, highlighting Indigenous-military cooperation and traditional knowledge. This was also turned in the Netflix doc series The Lost Children already – now here’s a doc film about it. From National Geographic Doc Films and Oscar-winning filmmakers Chai Vasarhelyi & Jimmy Chin, along with Emmy Award-winning director Juan Camilo Cruz, Lost in the Jungle is a gripping tale of survival, courage and hope. Available for streaming in a few weeks on Disney+ after premiering at the 2025 Telluride Film Festival this weekend. A remarkable story with so many elements to it not just a rescue.

Here’s the trailer (+ poster) for Vasarhelyi & Chin & Cruz’s doc film Lost in the Jungle, from YouTube:

“Discipline, trust, faith… These are all pillars of a successful young man.” Dark Star Pictures has unveiled the official trailer for an intriguing survival thriller titled The Wilderness, based on a true story, made by filmmaker Spencer King. Executive produced by Aaron Paul, this is set to hit theaters nationwide in October this fall. Kidnapped and abandoned in the Utah desert, a group of troubled boys are forced into a ruthless “Wilderness Therapy” program. Cut off entirely from the world, they must survive both the elements and the mind games of a director who may not be trying to save them at all. What is this survival program really about? Looks like some religious thing that they force upon people to break them down. Based on real life experiences by writer / director Spencer King. The Wilderness stars Lamar Johnson, Hunter Doohan, Liana Liberato, Sean Avery, Vinessa Shaw, Sam Jaeger, Aaron Holliday, Matt Gomez-Hidaka, & James Le Gros. This certainly looks compelling and unsettling, I hope these kids find a safe way home.

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Spencer King’s film The Wilderness, direct from YouTube:

A group of troubled teenage boys are kidnapped from their homes and taken out deep into the unforgiving Utah desert, where they are forced into a brutal and secretive “Wilderness Therapy” program. With no contact with the outside world or any other support, their only way home is to earn the approval of the enigmatic program director—whose motives are far from therapeutic. As the line between rehabilitation and manipulation blurs, the boys must decide whether to survive the program or escape it. The Wilderness is written and directed by American indie filmmaker Spencer King, director of the films Black Petunia and Time Now previously. Produced by Aaron Paul, Amy Berg, Larissa Beck, Lily Blavin, Hunter Doohan, Ali Edwards, & Spencer King. This hasn’t premiered at any festivals, as far as we know. Dark Star opens King’s The Wilderness thriller in US theaters nationwide starting October 17th, 2025 this fall. Want to watch it?
