The Survival movie 72 Hours premiered in the beginning of September, providing an educational overview of the most up-to-date survival tools and techniques to cope with different crisis situations. It is a joint collaboration between Baltic Survival and the technology company Tet, supported by the local food producer Good Mood Meals, given the current geopolitical situation in the region.
Opening the premiere, co-creator Robert Ernest Levitz shared his thoughts on why this film is a must-see for everyone. "We were prompted to make this film by the tragedy that millions of Ukrainian civilians found themselves in on the morning of 24 February 2022. Anyone can be in crisis - a crisis can be global, local or just affect you.
Most of us do not think about these issues in depth on a daily basis and are unlikely to be able to answer the questions: how to get clean water when shops are closed, how to keep warm at night when you are homeless, what to eat in the middle of the forest when couriers do not deliver food? That's why with the film we encourage people to prepare for a crisis in different ways," says Roberts.
In the film "72 Hours", French legionnaire Dāvids Krūmiņš and influencer Armands Jaunzems are given the task to get from Liepāja to the Lithuanian border in 72 hours. The two men set off with only what is available in their Baltic Survival crisis bag. On the way, they find themselves in various crisis situations, which they overcome with the things they have brought with them and the right clothes. The episode reveals some tips on what to do when shops, electricity, food, water and other amenities are not available. The boys also face unexpected challenges that they have to overcome in order to reach their destination on time.
"This film will make you remember that peace and stability are not always a given. In the light of recent events in Europe and around the world, the film will remind us why it is important to prepare ourselves and our families for unpredictable and difficult situations. Knowledge is our greatest asset to face the myriad challenges ahead," says Inga Alika-Stroda, Director of Tet TV and Entertainment Services.
Continuing the education of the public on how to act in crisis situations that was initiated in the film "72 Hours", Baltic Survival plans to draw the public's attention to the relevance of the topic presented in the film also in real life. In the near future, it is planned to organise survival camps for children and young people, as well as for people with reduced mobility and the disadvantaged.
72 Hours will be available on the Tet TV+ entertainment platform from 14 September and on 360TV in October. The creative team of "72 Hours" consists of Dāvids Krūmiņš, Armands Jaunzems, Mārtiņš Pavasaris, Ritvars Bluka and Roberts Ernests Levics. Bluka, an experienced cinematographer, is the closest to the world of film and video, while the others contributed their own ideas and visions to the project. Therefore, it is not shot according to traditional filmmaking canons, but as a project in which everyone contributes to the goal of raising the issue of crisis preparedness.
