ORANJESTAD, Aruba, April 19,
2024 /CNW/ -- Today, the One happy island of
Aruba is announcing the new
documentary series – Blue Lizard Effect. The limited-series
documentary aims to bring viewers along an adventure with actor
Jason Silva as he discovers that
happiness is fundamentally tied to nature and community. Produced
by the Aruba Tourism Authority and Pacifista Films, the documentary
will air globally on different channels and platforms this
month.
Most famous for his role on Brain
Games and Origins, Silva will take viewers on an
adventure, exploring the island through its four natural elements:
water, fire, air and land. Silva will be accompanied by 12 local
Arubans as they guide him through the island, confronting his
deepest fears. Throughout the four episodes, Silva will persevere
and conquer these challenges by leaning into Aruba's nature, culture, flavors and
traditions.
"Blue Lizard Effect gives viewers an authentic, inside
look at what makes Aruba One happy island and how the island
impacts Aruban's way of life, from their happiness to their
community," said Ronella Croes, CEO
of the Aruba Tourism Authority. "For Arubans, this series tells our
story and why we are proud to be One happy island - welcoming
everyone to come see what makes this island so special."
Blue Lizard Effect was directed by Colombian filmmaker
Juan Sebastian Mesa, previously
nominated at international festivals including Sundance, Cannes Film Festival and San Sebastián
International Film Festival in Cartagena. The docuseries was
produced by Pacifista Film's Juan Manuel Peña, CEO of the
production studio and Executive Producer of Blue Lizard
Effect.
