The Lost Boys TV series responds to the call of 'the most
harmful demographic trend of this generation', a groundbreaking
factual reality series that deals with the topic of masculinity
through father and son relationships. Would you like to be a part of
this exciting venture?
I am researching a new observational documentary series called
The Lost Boys. It focuses on 5 fathers and their sons and a 28 day
cattle mustering expedition. The idea is the time away together will
hopefully mend problems in their communications and create a new bond
between them.
I am looking for fathers and sons who may be interested in
participating. Sons would have to be minimum age 15 through to
24.
I have attached a longer synopsis for you to read and to pass on
to any of your members who you think may be interested.
I thank you for your time
Kind regards

Synopsis - The Lost Boys
There are good
reasons why modern fathers are estranged from their sons:
divorce, interstate or overseas work, separation, corporate demands,
desertion or disinterest. However, it's becoming obvious that
there are no good excuses. Boys without fathers lack the most
important male role-model in their lifetime - the person whose job it
is to show them what it means to be a mate, a husband, a worker, a
hero, a lover and above all, a man.
Clearly something
must be done to address what has been dubbed 'the most harmful
demographic trend of this generation'. The Lost Boys responds
to this call.
The Lost Boys is
a groundbreaking factual reality series that deals with the topic of
masculinity through father and son relationships. Five urban,
estranged father and son pairs will re-build their damaged
relationships by undertaking one of the toughest challenges Australia
has to offer - to move 500 head of cattle over 200 miles across the
outback, in 28 days, living the life of the quintessential
Drover.

The Drover is an
Australian icon that holds relevance for all Australians, even though
most of us are city dwellers. The Lost Boys uses the masculine
role- models and the vast landscape of the outback to heal the social
wounds that are impacting on our cities.
This is a unique
opportunity for fathers and sons to spend time together, learn
together, teach one another, face their fears and earn each other's
respect on a level playing field. Endless, hot days of hard work
followed by cold nights around the campfire combine to create an
emotionally charged experience that will be riveting to watch and
relevant to many in the viewing audience. As challenges common to
fathers and sons play out for the participants, those watching from
home will be given insights and practical tools to apply to their own
lives.
Under the
guidance of professional cattle men and adventure therapists, the
participants won't be able to escape the fact that the only way to
successfully complete the task, and claim their pay packet worth
thousands, is to get over the past and work together. This is
the best chance they'll ever get to build a paternal bond to ensure
that the Lost Boys become found.
