12-year-old Donn Fendler is on a family hike up a beautiful but challenging mountain, when he’s separated from his family in a  surprise storm.  The tween is on his own in the wild, and this true story is recounted in the upcoming movie, Lost on a Mountain in Maine, a gripping survival tale that reminds us of the power of courage and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds.

For nine long days, Donn Fendler is left alone to confront the harsh wilderness of northern Maine, a place known for its rough terrain and punishing weather. Without food, adequate clothing, or any sense of how desperate his situation has become, he must battle both the elements and his own fears. It’s a survival story that grips viewers as they follow Donn’s journey through forests, rivers, and even bear encounters, each step filled with determination to survive against all odds.

But Donn’s story promises to be about more than just survival—it’s also about family, community, and hope. As news of his disappearance spreads, a massive search effort unfolds, capturing national headlines and drawing hundreds of volunteers. Among them is Donn’s father, who joins the search with the sinking fear that he may never see his son again.

Lost on a Mountain in Maine is rated PG, making it an accessible, family-friendly tale of survival.
