The Western world has said goodbye to societies who use sea shells as currency and sacrifice animal hearts in religious rituals, but award-winning reporter Donal MacIntyre is determined to seek out these forgotten communities in The Edge of Existence.
Throughout the World there are places so inhospitable that humans cannot survive there long term. This series is about what it’s like to live at the very edge of existence - where every day is a struggle and mistakes are punished by death. Donal MacIntyre has proved his bravery. He has proved his mental and physical strength. He has proved his athleticism. But can he prove himself to people who take extreme hardship for granted.
