Yossi Ghinsberg

A truly cosmopolitan figure and an eternal nomad Yossi travels the world extensively and unceasingly for work and personal explorations.

He was born and raised in Israel serving three years in the Israeli navy on the Red Sea where he befriended the Bedouins of the Sinai Desert that greatly influenced him with their wholesome philosophy and nomadic lifestyle.

What begins as a dream adventure for four amicable, if hastily met, mochileros (backpackers) quickly becomes a struggle for survival as they unravel under the duress of the jungle. They are an odd mix to be sure: Marcus, the Swiss mystic; Karl, the shady Austrian geologist; Kevin, the well-intentioned American photographer; and Yossi, the Israeli adventurer. Jungle is the incredible true story of Yossi Ghinsberg's triumph over the most adverse and frightening of circumstances. It is a tale of survival and human fortitude against the wildest backdrop on the planet.
