(from National Geographic Channel's press release, April 2017) How did National Geographic become a network? This scripted series, from Marti Noxon's Tiny Pyro Productions ("Sharp Objects," "UnReal") and writer Erik Jendresen ("Band of Brothers," Killing Lincoln), travels back to the 1960s when an intrepid field producer is put in charge of two ragtag production teams shooting Nat Geo's first TV documentaries in Siberia and Australia. Both teams must brave espionage, scandal and hostile environments in an attempt to bring Nat Geo's arresting global storytelling to the new media age.
