Trailer Synopsis

The tropical islands that lie between Asia and Australia are among the biologically richest on earth, and home to a vast number of plants and animals. From tree kangaroos to tarsiers, manta rays to mudskippers, the region abounds with life. But why? The answer lies deep in time, due to the many millions of years these islands have existed - and the power of the earth, the sun and the moon.

On the Trail of Genghis Khan
For young Australian adventurer Tim Cope, this was the journey of a lifetime – travelling 10,000kms alone on horseback across the Eurasian steppe through Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine and Hungary. From the former Mongol capital Karakorum to the Danube, Tim retraced the path of the first nomads and followed the route taken by legendary Genghis Khan as he forged his great empire. Over three and a half gruelling years, and guided by an old Kazakh wisdom – “to understand the wolf, you must put on the skin of a wolf and look through its eyes” – Tim lived just as the ancient nomads did.
