    A true adventurer fulfills her dream.

    This is an incredible documentary following a family of 3 and their friend as they make a home in the arctic. They build a cabin and live for a year in the wild.

    Watch the trilogy in order

    Real, reality TV. Better than Man vs Wild.

    The trilogy is a lifetime in the making and it gave me insights into many of humanity's primal needs. This is the first movie.

    I have known people like this, and I think there is a part of all of us that understands the satisfaction and allure of people that lived like this.
