| Description: |
| In this feature-length special, discover the fascinating accounts of those pioneers who have braved some of the most dangerous territory in South America. From Theodore Roosevelt to Henry Ford to Hiram Bingham, Amazon Adventures investigates the exploits of some of history's most resilient and enterprising navigators of this magnificent river. Meet unsung hero Walter Earnest Hardenberg, whose courage brought one of the twentieth century's most harrowing tales of human torture to world attention, and discover the work of ethnobotanist Richard Evans Schultes, who discovered the medicinal plant known as "curare." |
