World renowned filmmaker Anthony Mandler uses the latest Red Epic filming technology to capture the exploits of Beckham and his friends in David Beckham Into The Unknown, which will air on BBC One in the UK this June, with BBC Worldwide holding international distribution rights for the programme.
In this special 1x90 documentary film, Beckham flies 5,000 miles from London to South America, staying briefly in Rio de Janeiro and then on to Manaus in the heart of the rainforest. From there he and his friends Derek White and Dave Gardner travel by motorbike and boat, guided by locals as they visit the tiny community of Angelin, cross the river Negro to the banks of the Cuieras River and travel deeper into the rainforest to meet the remote Yanomami tribe.
