独木舟是考古学家迄今发现的最古老的船型。数千年来，南美洲的土著居民一直用独木舟在热带雨林中穿梭航行。本杰明·萨德（Benjamin Sadd）和詹姆斯·特兰德尔（James Trundle）决定用这种以空心树干制作而成的小船来探索神秘的亚马逊雨林。要想实现这个梦想，他们需要做很多艰苦的工作。在一个名叫Bay Nenquiqwi的华欧拉尼族人（当地土著民族）的帮助下，他们的独木舟逐渐成型。在融入传统丛林生活的同时，两个英国人也即将踏上他们探索神秘雨林、发现自我的旅途。

The dugout canoe is the oldest type of boat archaeologists have found. For thousands of years it has been used by the indigenous people of South America to navigate the jungle. With such a boat—basically made from hollowed out tree trunk—Benjamin Sadd and James Trundle have chosen to explore the mystical Amazon region. Making this dream come true starts with a lot of hard work—first step, felling a massive tree. With the help of a Huaorani man named Bay Nenquiqwi, their dugout canoe gradually takes shape. Amidst the screaming monkeys and swinging lianas, the two Brits embark on a journey into the mysterious world of the jungle and discover themselves in an unexpected way.
