The limited docuseries, EXPEDITION FROM HELL: THE LOST TAPES, uncovers a doomed expedition through the Amazon led by a charismatic guide with unclear motives. The series unfolds a stranger-than-fiction story of Mickey Grosman, a former special forces demolitions expert who took a group of amateur adventurers on a nearly impossible journey across South America. Positioned as a charity trek for cancer awareness, participants were to be part of a 5,000-mile expedition across the continent through the deepest parts of the Amazon jungle. Only one claims to have made it to the end…Mickey Grosman.
David Freid serves as executive producer for the limited series. He is a director, producer, and journalist who has contributed to The Atlantic, The New York Times, National Geographic, NBC and Vanity Fair, among others. Freid was the lead creative of MEL Films, where he further honed his unique approach of finding humor and humanity in surprising places (filmed in over 30 countries). Those films went on to win the International Documentary Association (IDA) award for Best Documentary Series, an Edward R. Murrow Award for journalism, and he was nominated for an Emmy for "Guns Found Here”. His films have amassed millions of organic views online, and have played and won at festivals around the world, including SXSW, DOC NYC, Tribeca and Cannes. David has since gone on to direct multiple national commercials, one of which aired during the Super Bowl, and he has been the showrunner and director for series available on Discovery, Peacock, and Max.
Alexander Hernandez is an Orlando, FL-based financial consultant who joined Mickey Grosman on the ill-fated expedition through the Amazon.
