This July we’re continuing our survival season with
a series of documentaries. At 9 p.m. on Tuesday
14th July you can see another amazing story.
____________________: The Incredible Story of
José Salvador Alvarenga
This is the story of a man who spent thirteen
months in the Pacific Ocean before he was
discovered on an island. José Salvador Alvarenga,
originally from El Salvador but living in Mexico, was
on a fishing trip off the coast of Chiapas, Mexico in
December 2012. He was fishing for sharks with a
fifteen-year-old boy. Their boat broke down after a
storm and they were left drifting in the Pacific
Ocean. The boy died after four months because he
didn’t eat the birds, fish and turtles that José caught
and killed with a knife to survive. José said that he
didn’t see land for a long time, only the endless blue
ocean. He soon lost track of time and could only tell
when it was night and day. Finally, his boat drifted
to the small of Ebon in the Pacific. The islanders
were shocked when they saw him. His hair and
beard were very long and his skin was badly
sunburned. His legs were very swollen as well.
They gave him food and water and took him to a
hospital to recover.
2 3
When the world’s media found out about José, he
became very famous. But some people find his
story a little too incredible. When he was found he
wasn’t very thin. And when questioned about his
story he got a lot of his facts confused. The case
still remains a mystery. There’s no doubt that José
has been through a physical and mental ordeal, but
did he really spend such a long time alone? If not,
then where was he and what was he doing? Or,
could he simply be telling the truth? Join us as we
investigate one of the greatest stories of survival in
modern times.
