Tenía 12 años, se perdió en la montaña y sobrevivió 9 días solo: la historia real detrás del éxito de Netflix.
The true story behind the Netflix hit “Lost in the Maine Mountains” is about Donn Fendler, a 12-year-old who got lost in the Maine mountains in 1939 and survived for nine days alone. The film, released on July 13, 2025, is a survival drama based on his ordeal, capturing his resilience and the desperate search efforts of the time.
In the summer of 1939, Donn Fendler became separated from his hiking group on Mount Katahdin, the tallest peak in Maine.
He faced nine days of navigating the rugged terrain, battling hunger, fear, and the elements, relying on his resourcefulness and faith. A massive search party, including park rangers, canine units, and air support, was mobilized to find him, but he wasn’t located until he stumbled out of the woods.
Donn was found dehydrated and covered in bug bites, but otherwise in remarkably good condition.
The film, now a popular title on Netflix, highlights the human will to endure and the power of hope in the face of adversity.
