Emasontweni ambalwa edlule, kwaba Kuqinisekisiwe ukuthi I-Wolf Creek umqondisi uGreg McLean wayezoba ngumphathi womdlalo wokusinda obizwa Jungle, nokuthi izodlala uKevin Bacon. Lezi zindaba zibukeka sengathi zihamba kancane ngaphansi kwe-radar kusukela, kuze kube yi-Hollywood Reporter khipha isihloko ngakho kuleli sonto, uMcLean abhalele abalandeli bakhe kuTwitter. Laba bobabili bake basebenza ndawonye kuMcLean-produced 6 Miranda Drive, ezophuma ngonyaka ozayo.

Jungle ilandisa ngendaba engelona iqiniso ka-Yossi Ghinsberg, owabhala incwadi mayelana nokuhlangenwe nakho kwakhe okwesabekayo ehlathini lemvula, ebizwa ngokuthi “Ihlathi: Indaba Yeqiniso Ebuhlungu Yokusinda,” okuyilokho ifilimu esekelwe kukho. Incazelo ye Jungle Kanje:

I-JUNGLE ixoxa indaba ka-Yossi Ghinsberg, isivakashi esisha esinomdlandla esilandela amaphupho akhe, esiya ehlathini lase-Amazon nabangane ababili kanye nomqondisi onomlando ongaqondakali. Uhambo lwabo luphenduka uvivinyo olungokwengqondo olusabekayo futhi lulwela ukusinda njengoba izici ezimnyama kakhulu zemvelo yomuntu kanye nezinsongo ezibulalayo kakhulu zasehlane zivela ukuze zivivinye ukukhuthazela kwazo. I-Bacon izodlala u-Karl, umhlahlandlela oholela i-Ghinsberg nabangane enhliziyweni yehlathi.

U-Ghinsberg wenze i-TEDx Talk e-Bratislava ngo-2010, futhi wabelane ngezinkumbulo zohambo lwakhe. Uma ubheke ngabomvu ifilimu kaMcLean, ungase uthande ukunikeza leli washi:

Wikipedia usho lokhu mayelana nohambo lwase-Ghinsberg lwase-Amazon:

Ngemva kokuqeda inkonzo yakhe ebuthweni lasolwandle lakwa-Israel, egqugquzelwa uPapillon, uGhinsberg wanquma ukuhamba. Wasebenza imisebenzi eminingana ukuze onge imali ukuze afike eNingizimu Melika. Lapho eseLaPaz, wahlangana noKarl Rurechter, wase-Austria owayethi uyisazi sokuma komhlaba. UKarl watshela uGhinsberg ukuthi uhlela uhambo lokuya e-Amazon yaseBolivia engaziwa eyofuna igolide endaweni ekude kakhulu yamaNdiya. UGhinsberg nabangane bakhe ababili - uKevin, umthwebuli wezithombe waseMelika kanye noMarcus Stamm, waseGhinsberg waseSwitzerland abahlangane eNingizimu Melika - banquma ukujoyina uKarl.

I-Ghinsberg kanye namadoda amathathu bandize ngendiza base behamba izinsuku ezine ukuze bafike endaweni engaqashiwe. Lapho, kwadingeka badle izinkawu ngenxa yokungabi nampahla. Nokho, uMarcus wenqaba ukudla izinkawu futhi waba buthaka. Ngemva kokuhamba emahlathini emvula inyanga yonke, banquma ukwakha isihlenga ukuze baphume emfuleni. Nokho, uKarl wayengakwazi ukubhukuda futhi engafuni ukusebenzisa isihlenga. Ngaleso sikhathi base bebonile ukuthi uKarl wayeqamba amanga mayelana negolide nomuzi wamaNdiya. Leli qembu libe nokungaboni ngaso linye okuholele ekutheni lihlukane. U-Kevin no-Ghinsberg banquma ukuthatha isihlenga behle ngomfula futhi u-Karl no-Marcus banquma ukuhamba bekhuphuka nomfula. U-Karl no-Marcus abaphindanga bezwa lutho. UGhinsberg noKevin bahlulekile ukulawula isihlenga njengoba sisondela empophomeni. U-Kevin wafinyelela ogwini kodwa i-Ghinsberg yantanta yehla nomfula naphezu kwempophoma. Wachitha izinsuku ezine ekhuphuka nomfula ukuze athole uKevin. Kodwa wabe eseqala ukuhamba ehla ngomfula ekholelwa ukuthi yilona hambo ayelufuna. I-Ghinsberg ichithe amasonto amathathu alandelayo ingenazo izimpahla nemishini endaweni engaqashiwe yase-Amazon. Ngosuku lweshumi nane, kwaba nezikhukhula endaweni futhi ezinsukwini ezinhlanu ezalandela, wayengenakho ukudla. Wayethola amajikijolo, iminenke namaqanda aluhlaza ukuze akudle. Ngokusho kwakhe, wayehlanyisa owesifazane ayelala naye njalo ebusuku lapho elahlekile futhi emenzela konke.

U-Kevin watholwa isizwe futhi yena kanye nabantu ababili bomdabu bathola i-Ghinsberg ngemva kwezinsuku ezintathu zomkhankaso wokuhlenga abantu, ngemva kwamasonto amathathu i-Ghinsberg ilahlekile. Ngemva kokuhlengwa kwakhe, uGhinsberg wachitha izinyanga ezintathu ezilandelayo esibhedlela.
