Episodes
Chinguetti, Mauritania exists like a pearl in the desert on the western edge of the Sahara Desert, a desert whose sand reaches every crook and crevice of life in this land and is a true force of nature that locals have learned to adapt to.
650 miles from the North Pole, the elemental side of nature is a common factor in all decisions. The crystalline, light-lit hues of the land can soften the harsh reality the cold brings, and remind one that true spirit shines from within.
Follow journalist Alexandra Alevêque and meet people living in the coldest, warmest, highest, most humid, and most densely populated cities in the world. Alexandra will experience life in these extreme cities and live in each one long enough to learn about the locals' way of life and gain insight into humankind's incredible capacity to adapt and find solutions to survive.
