Exclusive Alby Mangels DVDs available NOW

Oct. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- The DVD collection will be available within the week at Bookland and coincides with the announcement that Award-winning Hollywood-based film producer Paul Mason is working on a new TV series for Australia’s original iconic wild man, adventurer and wildlife warrior, Alby Mangels.

ALBY MANGELS ~ ADVENTURE BOUND. The complete range digitally re-mastered and released in its entirety for the first time ever, including thirty-eight titles never before made available (either on DVD or on TV) in Australia.

There are over 70 titles in the range, including three by Alby’s nephew Rick Snel, as well as the original World Safari double-album sound track CD.  Bonus original “World Safari” posters and “World Safari” booklets, all signed by Alby, are also available (conditions apply). This newly released range is ONLY available online via at: www.bookland.net.au or via Alby’s own site.

The perfect Christmas gift for both die-hard fans and the new generation hungry for real-life heroes.

“I first heard of Alby through reading his biography Alby Mangels Beyond World Safari by Lynn Santer, and found his story utterly compelling,” says Mason, who has just completed a major feature with Sir Ben Kinglsey and Ben Cross. “It was a fascinating story and one that I felt needed to be told again to a younger generation. Before Bear Grylls, Steve Irwin, and Paul Hogan, there was Alby Mangels – he was the original, the person who paved the way for everything that was to follow. Here he is again to show the young pups a few new tricks or two.”

Marie Claire Magazine called him “A little bit Elvis, a little bit Tarzan, and a whole lot of Errol Flynn”. To his fans he is simply “legend”. He blazed trails where people never imagined there were trails to blaze. He pioneered the reality adventure documentary genre, and never spoke out against his critics to glorify the massive philanthropic/social enterprise solutions he was working on to improve the lives of both humans and animals suffering around the world. He has personally planted thousands of trees, built homes for the homeless in Third World countries, put food into the mouths of those going hungry, and drawn attention through his films to the plight of endangered species. This remarkable unsung, softly spoken, kind-hearted icon of Australia is about to inspire a whole new generation.
