My article for Outside magazine titled “The Teachings of Gerineldo Moises Chavez, or, The Rainforest Is a Great Place to Save, But I Wouldn’t Want to Live There” was so wildly popular (and won a Lowell Thomas Gold Award for Best Adventure Travel Story) that Outside commissioned me to reexperience that Amazon survival adventure for Outside Television. I wrote the script, and I guess you could say I starred in it, though the true star was my gifted and patient guide, Moises Chavez.

The result was every bit as successful as the article, and won a silver Teddy Award in competition for the year’s best conservation film.

Major credit goes to director Melissa Forman and to executive producer and prolific filmmaker Les Guthman, who hosts the film on his XPLR Productions Vimeo channel.
