Jonathan Legg is in Asia’s world city, Hong Kong! It’s an all out assault on the sense with all things opulent and luxurious; high end art collectors to the priciest wines in the world, super car aficionados and helicopter getaways from skyscraper rooftops; this is the road less traveled from a different point of view. But Hong Kong is more than just big money; Jonathan digs deep into the humanity to uncover a sect of unassuming Jains that are trying to practice their religion in a nondescript building. He gets a taste of Jeet Kun Do from Bruce Lee’s student, and this foray in martial arts also leads Jonathan deep into the legendary world of Hong Kong’s cinema’s stuntmen. Between exploring the back gardens of Sai Kung on a kayak and exploring Japanese fortifications on the island, this is Hong Kong like you’ve never seen before!

February 2017 saw me embark upon a travel expedition through Scotland, Poland, France, Mexico, Belize and, (alas! ), back. Not only was it the first time I ventured out to Central America, but also the first time I seriously pushed my bravery boundaries to do a whole lot of things I'd never tried before. I defeated my life-long fear of scubadiving and skydiving, (the Carribbean vistas do help! - No danger I'd do that again in Aberdeen), I went zip-lining over a Mexican jungle, I tried habanero-packed streetfood, (failed at that miserably), and organic tequila, (managed that better;), I climbed a Maya pyramid in the middle of a Belizean rainforest and fed hibiscus flowers to a very extravagant donkey. Most importantly, however, I got to know some incredible people - from shamans, wanderers and artists to refugees, businesswomen and expat cowboys. And thanks to aaaall of that, I also got to know a little bit more about myself for visiting the most remote corners of our planet reminds you how different and yet how similar we all are. I'm looking forward to sharing my incredible experience in 5 exciting episodes of our travel series, which really turned out to be a Dream Journey:) I simply cannot wait for more!

No other animal has influenced our lives as much as the horse. Our entire history is indivisibly linked to this animal. This documentary portrays a relationship that goes far beyond what we imagine.
