Alby Mangels

"I am very grateful to the fans who have followed me, those of you who have had such kind words to say over the years. I have never been comfortable being thought of as a "star" because there are countless others far more worthy than me, but over the years I have come to understand there was a driving force pushing me to succeed in my endeavours. After witnessing the pain my mother endured when I was a child I was determined never to allow poverty to make decisions for me; when I set my sights on something I would not give up on it easily. I felt I owed it to my mother's memory to live my dreams and never wonder "what if". I want to thank all my fans for your generosity and unwavering support." Alby Mangels

BIOGRAPHY

BIOGRAPHYAlby Mangels had a dream to just pack up and go; to see the world. Though his path was uncharted, his inspirational journey became a remarkable narrative of the incredible people he met and fantastic places he saw along the way. The amazing trek that followed allowed the enigmatic Australian traveler to use the world as a stage on his non-stop quest for adventure. A true World Safari!Learn more about this self-proclaimed adventurer, film-maker and conservationist. Discover for yourself why long ago Alby Mangels said: "Travel hasn't satisfied an appetite. It has created one!"What an awesome life!Alby Mangels "Beyond World Safari" from world-renown author and activist Lynn Santer.Before Steve Irwin, before Crocodile Dundee, Alby Mangels was and is the original Australian wild man and conservationist. Finally agreeing to placate his diehard fans who have been screaming to know what happened to him, Alby has broken his 15 year silence in self-imposed seclusion and is speaking out like never before in this full and frank authorized biography.Many myths and misconceptions have sprung up around Alby over the last 15 years, but during that time Alby has not been idle. He now has over seventy wildlife and environmentally-based documentaries under his belt, which have been screening internationally over the past decade, some to the highest ratings ever achieved on the US Discovery Channel. He has also created a native wildlife sanctuary on his pristine hideaway property in rural South Australia, and he's discovered a new spiritual path of peace and acceptance after a terrible accident nearly left him unable to walk again.You may well be asking yourself two questions at this point. Why did Alby choose Lynn Santer above any other author in the world to write his deeply personal story? And why now? Lynn and Alby originally met when Lynn was organizing the World Wildlife Funds 25th anniversary in Australia celebrations at Dreamworld, where Lynn has a long standing association with Dreamworld's Endangered Tiger Fund. As both an accomplished author and a wildlife conservationist who has won awards recognising her work for animal welfare since she was 11 years old, Lynn attracted Alby's attention.Like many, Lynn had heard of the legend that was Alby Mangels decades earlier but in truth she had never even watched any of his films. When he sat her down and told her about his poverty and trial-stricken childhood, his dreams, his lust for adventure, his fervour for our natural world, his dazzling rise to the dizzy heights of hero-worship, and his crash back down to earth after his empire, his dreams and his reputation were shattered by a sequence of gut-wrenching disasters, Lynn's heart went out to him and her writer's zeal ached to tell his story to the world.In his tell-all biography the man, the myth, and the magic that is Alby Mangels that will leave you gasping for breath, crying with laughter, weeping at the tragedies, and cheering with inspiration at his triumph against all odds. Containing 135 color pictures (some never seen!), it's a fantastic read about one of the really great adventurers of our time!

FEATURE FILM FEATURE FILMALBY MANGELS became a folk hero who fans call dead-set legend and the man who pioneered the reality genre of adventure television entertainment. He won "Best Family Film" at the Los Angeles Film Festival for World Safari Two, a trail blazing adventure that outgrossed Hollywood blockbusters of the time including Ghost Busters and Star Wars. Since then Alby produced his Adventure Bound series which aired on the Discovery Travel Channel in the US to the highest ratings ever achieved.Despite his high profile, little is known about the charity Alby established with his sister for disabled and disadvantaged children, the multi-awarded revolutionary wheelchair he designed to give greater independence to quadriplegics and paraplegics, or the time he spent falsely accused in Bangkok's notorious Bangkwang Prison, otherwise known as "The Bangkok Hilton".Alby's life story is rich with heart-stopping drama, gut-wrenching tragedy, triumph against all odds, and visually spectacular settings on the world stage. The truth behind his fall from grace, his fifteen year self-imposed exile from public life, and how he rose again like a phoenix from the ashes while creating a 2,500 acre wildlife sanctuary and discovering inner peace is something that will both shock and inspire. The feature film adaptation of Lynn Santer's authorized biography on Alby is now in development with Hollywood veteran producer PAUL MASON. Paul has been involved in film and television production since the 1960s and has worked with such superstars as Richard Gere, Rock Hudson, Sir Ben Kingsley, Ben Cross, Lou Gossett Jnr, Anthony LaPaglia, Dennis Hopper, Lloyd Bridges, Beau Bridges, Bryan Brown, John Travolta, Sharon Stone, Bo Derek, Anthony Quinn, Gene Hackman, Martin Sheen, and Robert Wagner. He was put in charge of development for the David L. Wolper company during the production of "ROOTS" which has gone on to be one of the most acclaimed television productions of all time. His recent feature films include "Hachiko" starring Richard Gere and "An Uncommon Man" starring Sir Ben Kingsley and Ben Cross. He has twice been awarded Fame Magazines Critic Award for writing and producing the best television series ("MacMillan and Wife") and both nominated for an Emmy and awarded the first Image Award from NAACP for his hit series "Ironside". A Senior Vice President of Viacom for ten years, Mr Mason was responsible for $US300 million in annual production during his tenure. His feature credits include: Amityville Horror, Wuthering Heights, Predator, The Perry Mason movies, Where Sleeping Dogs Lie, The Fall Guy, California Kid, It Takes a Thief, and Night of the Living Dead, in addition to numerous other productions. Mr Mason also developed and established the Original Movie Division of Viacom (Showtime) and was President of Trans World Entertainment Motion Pictures from 1986 - 1990.

HOT NEWS ALBY MANGELS TO BE MADE-OVER IN MELBOURNEDue to the ongoing and resolute demand from his unwavering die-hard fans around the world, and in conjunction with the announcement that Award-winning Hollywood-based film producer Paul Mason is working on a new TV series for Australias original iconic wild man, adventurer and wildlife warrior, Alby Mangels returns with films that aired to the some of the highest ratings ever achieved around the globe, including 38 titles never seen before in Australia.Alby Mangels is about to engage a whole new generation this Christmas, and in keeping with the sentiments of new starts and new beginnings, in 2012 Australia's original wild man and wildlife warrior will be undergoing a complete make-over with Melbourne-based style consultant, Cindy Newstead - click on the logo to visit Cindy's website. This is no mean challenge for Cindy as she will have to transform Australia's original wild man and wildlife warrior, more famed for his micro shorts and outback adventures, ahead of Alby accepting an offer by Peter Adams, principal at Pascoe Vale North Primary School in Melbourne, to become "Principal for a Day". "I'm thrilled to be able to introduce my philosophies of life to a new generation," says Alby. "The overwhelming message being that nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it. If you can dream it, you can do it that's the message I want to get across to kids."With Alby's entire range of films just released for the first time ever an entirely new generation, not to mention the resolute die-hard fans around the globe, will be able to see first-hand how one man single-handedly changed the way people see the world with his ratings-busting Adventure Bound series.ALBY MANGELS ~ ADVENTURE BOUND, the complete range, digitally re-mastered and released in its entirety for the first time ever, is available now: www.albymangels-shop.com. There are over 70 titles in the range, including three by Albys nephew Rick Snel, as well as the original World Safari sound track CD. Bonus original "World Safari" posters and rare copies of his Escape magazine, all signed by Alby, are also available (conditions apply). 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 Peter Adams. "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.
