Description
Challenges such as crossing the Andes are tough enough for the able-bodied, but these inspiring individuals are not about to let disabilities hold them back.
This channel defining entertainment format starts with 11 heroes climbing into a helicopter. They are about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime: a 100-mile trek across incredibly inhospitable terrain. If that were not impressive enough, our heroes all suffer some form of disability - some are blind and accompanied by a guide dog, others have prosthetic limbs or are even in wheelchairs. By working together they overcome every obstacle that stands in their way. Be it searing heat, a steep climb, dense undergrowth, or more human challenges, such as exhaustion or frustration, nothing will stop them. Join our intrepid heroes on their inspirational journey Beyond Boundaries.
