Jungle Story
Jungle Doc Productions was founded in November 2009 by Thierry Jamin and Alain Bonnet, who serves as its manager.
How did Jungle Doc Productions come about?
Since 1998, Thierry Jamin has been exploring the Amazon rainforest in southern Peru in search of the legendary Inca city of Païtiti. The Peruvians even call it Eldorado! After countless adventures in the heart of Inca territory, Thierry and his companions—having confirmed the Incas’ continued presence in the Amazon—may now be arriving at the gates of the wondrous city of Païtiti, following so many years of expeditions through South America’s “green hell,” filmed by exceptional cinematographers. Incredible encounters and extraordinary discoveries. Hundreds of hours of footage and exclusive testimonies.
Jungle Doc, encounters...
Thierry realized at a very early age that knowledge is meant to be shared and should not be reserved for an elite, even if that elite is made up of scientists.
In 2003, he met Alain Bonnet, then manager of a communications agency based in Muret near Toulouse.
Thus began an intense collaboration that would lead, among other things, to the creation of Thierry Jamin’s websites (The Petroglyphs of Pusharo, Machu Picchu, and Alien Project) and to various outreach efforts to promote his research (crowdfunding, and the publication of pamphlets, brochures, and books).
… to the production of documentaries
The idea for Jungle Doc Productions was born in 2009 at the request of fans of Thierry's research and enthusiasts of human adventures, distant horizons, travel... but also die-hard fans of the famous TV series, still broadcast today, “The Mysterious Cities of Gold”!
To that end, Thierry Jamin and Alain Bonnet founded the documentary production company Jungle Doc Productions, whose first project is to produce a series chronicling those years of research and exploration.
