The film ‘100 Dias’, directed by Carlos Saldanha, premiered at the Rio Film Festival. Based on the book ‘Cem dias entre o céu e o mar’, the production depicts navigator Amyr Klink’s 1984 solo rowing journey across the South Atlantic from Namibia to Brazil.

To recreate the physical and psychological challenges of the 100-day expedition, the film utilizes advanced visual effects and a navigable boat built to the exact dimensions of Klink’s original vessel. The project’s development was marked by several obstacles, including script disputes, the death of director Breno Silveira, and the withdrawal of various production companies before Saldanha took over the project.

Klink has also reflected on his legacy in relation to the film, criticizing modern trends that prioritize public image over the actual experience of a journey.
