LAST MAN STANDING SHOW SYNOPSIS
Sporting activities have been part of human life for millennia. This ground
breaking BBC series is a celebration of traditional sports. It will explore
the incredible cultural richness of indigenous sporting events and festivals
around the world.
Last Man Standing will look at the indigenous sports of eight very different
communities, from the Arctic to the Amazon, from Africa to Asia, to uncover
some of the toughest events on the planet, and provide an insight into the
ancient history and culture of some of the world’s most remote areas and the
people who live there.
To really learn about each particular sport, six athletes from the UK and
USA will spend a week immersed in the sport and culture. The athletes will
eat and sleep with the community and live as they do. They will train with
them and learn rare insights into the sport and the way of life. At the end
of the week, they will take part in the activity and play by local rules.
The series will explore the cultural and religious significance of each
sport with sensitivity and respect. With the help of local guides and
mentors, the athletes will also learn about the history and relevance of
each sport.
It will, through showing features and emotions common to people the world
over, promote understanding and respect for different ways of life. These
sporting events, although firmly rooted in each specific culture, will also
highlight how much very different peoples of the world have in common.
This landmark series will show some of the most unusual, colorful sporting
events in a variety of countries, and will provide an entertaining and fresh
insight into some of the richest cultures in the world.
