An inspiring documentary expedition that weaves together human connection, environmental urgency, and the raw beauty of wilderness to advocate for conservation.

A passionate conservation biologist brings together a river bushman fearful of losing his past and a young scientist uncertain of her future on an epic, four-month expedition across three countries, through unexplored and dangerous landscapes, in order to save the Okavango Delta, one of our planet's last pristine wildernesses.
