macintyre: the edge of existence

Donal MacIntyre will put his life and reputation on the line as he tries to live at the absolute limits of human habitation in The Edge of Existence, a new four-part series for Five. Throughout the world there are places so inhospitable that humans cannot survive there long term. The Edge of Existence shows what it is like to live in these places and Donal will experience firsthand the natural world at its harshest.

He will visit a tribe in Papua New Guinea; meet the Inuits who live in the most northerly community in the world, experience camel migration in the Sahara and hunt bull sharks in Nicaragua. The series features some of the most spectacular locations in the world. Combining survival knowhow, anthropology and physical challenges, the outcome will never be certain for Donal in this brand new action adventure series.
