Synopsis
Series in which six athletic adventurers from the west compete for glory against tribal champions in remote corners of the globe, with the ultimate aim of being crowned the last man standing.
The athletes are in Bhutan to learn the national sport of archery. They have to fire arrows more than twice the Olympic distance, over the heads spectators, to hit a target the size of a dinner plate. It is so difficult that even the experts have a special dance when anyone scores a hit, and the lads are right at the centre of a serious grudge match between two villages.
