10 DAYS BEYOND LIFE
IN DEVELOPMEN
We met Mauro Prosperi in the summer of 2019 at his home in Sicily while shooting a short documentary about his life. Something clicked straight away. His story is one for generations, and on a human level we connected with him straight away, we knew there and then we had to make this movie.
The development of the script for this movie started in the thick of the pandemic when the dream of escaping and traveling was strong and kept developing since.
Mauro's story is well-known and internationally recognized, from the BBC to Netflix, everyone sees the power of this adventure. We have had the pleasure of working alongside Mauro himself - since we purchased the life and book rights in 2019 - and we are now on the 9th draft and have started the financing process. We are hoping to produce this movie in 2024-2025 and finally be able to share the magic that this story is with the world.
10 Days Beyond Life is the true story of Mauro Prosperi, an Italian Olympic athlete who in 1994, while taking part in the Marathon des Sables, considered the toughest race in the world, he is surprised by a sandstorm and gets lost in the wild heart of the Sahara.
For Mauro, left without food or water, an epic challenge for survival begins which, amidst dangers, superhuman fatigue and ferocious animals, will lead him to accomplish
the greatest challenge he has ever faced: the desert.
To save his life he will have to rely on all the strength of the mind, the spirit of adaptation, and the intelligence he possesses, ending up immersing himself in a journey that will reveal the most intimate, true, and primitive part of himself.
