About North America
Narrated by Tom Selleck and featuring Bon Jovi's `Army of One' as its theme song, the sweeping seven-part documentary `North America' captures a land where life collides with hostile, untamed wilderness in one of the most diverse, deadly environments on Earth. The series, which took more than three years to produce, includes stories of animals struggling to survive unforgiving weather and rugged terrain, from the frigid Yukon Territory and the lush forests of Belize, to the snow-capped Rocky Mountains and the barren deserts of the American Southwest. A `making of' episode chronicles the challenges faced by the production team, including Hurricane Irene and other natural disasters. … MORE
