Do or Die - Lost in the Bush

Television (Full Length and Excerpts) – 2002

This documentary recounts real-life survival stories of New Zealanders who have endured being lost in the wilderness — and takes them back into the bush, to learn skills that could save lives. Their harrowing experiences and rescue missions are detailed through news footage, reenactments and present-day interviews. Sudden weather shifts, treacherous river crossings and unexpected injuries led the survivors into life-threatening situations. Now, guided by bush safety expert Mike Spray the group learn crucial skills such as navigation, shelter and fire building, river crossing, and staying warm. 

The New Zealand bush is both attractive and accessible. But if you lose your way it can be an unforgiving environment.
– Narrator Francesca Rudkin, at the start of this documentary
