Discovery’s The Wheel dares six survivalists to survive in six distinctly grueling landscapes across South America. With every turn of the wheel, each person is dropped into a new isolated location, exposed to the world’s deadliest terrains including freezing tundra, rugged mountains and treacherous rainforest. Participants don’t know that their stint at each spot is determined by the rotation of the moon.

As a Supervising Producer during production, I was in charge of one of the six climate zones (in the Argentinian bush), directing the production crew and interviewing survivalists on camera.
