Alone
No camera crews. No gimmicks. It is the ultimate test of human will.
On History
A solitary, high-stakes survival documentary that trades spectacle for intimate psychological endurance, asking what a person discovers about themselves when stripped to bare necessity.
Hardcore survivalists are put by themselves in the Vancouver Island wilderness, without camera crews, teams, or producers – on a single mission to stay alive for as long as possible.
