The non-commercial Fan Documentary 'A Bond for Life' retraces the past 20 years in the life of Benjamin Lind, a die-hard James Bond fan and Editor of the Fanblog “The
Bond Bulletin”. From being exposed to Bond for the first time in 1996 until the World Premiere of 'SPECTRE' in 2015, the film takes viewers on a colorful journey through
the most difficult and challenging times of the narrator. Partly filmed on original Bond locations across Europe, ‘A Bond For Life’ is a gripping story of throwbacks and
accomplishments in which the James Bond films have always played a notable part.

Beside Bond experts and fans from across the globe, Special Guest Stars such as film composer David Arnold, actress Nikki van der Zyl, Lyricist and Academy Award Winner Don Black, Production Designer and Academy Award Winner Sir Ken Adam as well as actors Mads Mikkelsen and Götz Otto share their experiences with James Bond.

'A Bond for Life', dedicated to Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson,will celebrate its UNICEF World Premiere in March 2016. The film will not be released on DVD or Blu-Ray and can only be seen at selected screenings in aid of UNICEF.

The aim is to deliver an entertaining Fan-Documentary with an important message:

own two feet. Another reason is the possibility, to reach a significant amount of
donations for UNICEF on a European level and thereby help where help is urgently needed.
