Description

Salvador Alvarenga's incredible true survival story is a testament to the human spirit's ability to persevere in the face of unimaginable adversity. On November 17th, 2012, he set out to sea for a two-day fishing trip, but a vicious storm and strong currents swept him over 9,000 miles into the Pacific Ocean.

For fourteen months, Alvarenga drifted on the open sea, facing numerous challenges and considering suicide on multiple occasions. Yet, he developed a remarkable method of survival that kept his body and mind intact, allowing him to eventually wash up on a remote island.

This epic tale of survival is based on extensive interviews with Alvarenga, his colleagues, search and rescue officials, and the people who saved his life. A fascinating and action-packed account of long-term survival on the open seas, 438 Days is a story that will leave you in awe of the human spirit's capacity for endurance and resilience.
