An inside look at the lifesaving work of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. For over 10 months we let the cameras inside the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, a government agency which HM Coastguard is part of that works to prevent the loss of life on the coast and at sea.
The adventure begins. Five pairs of complete strangers start the most extreme journey of their lives in five different locations in the Colombian jungle.
‘La isla’ shows a group of men recording their own experience of survival in the Pacific Ocean: 14 ordinary men have to survive in a remote and wild island without more resources than their own skills for a month. Without food, water, tools or a place to shelter, they have to fight for their existence. They are alone on the island, so each moment is recorded and narrated by themselves. ‘La isla' is not a contest, it’s a vital experience whose prize is to survive.
In each episode, two different world class chefs are dropped into the wilderness where they’ll embark on a grueling and unprecedented mission – survive and forage enough wild ingredients to create a restaurant worthy, five-star meal.
