“We strive to offer the very best content out there, and Sebastian’s experiential style of filmmaking is the very best,” said Tim Pastore, president of original programming andĀ production, National Geographic Channel. “We are thrilled to be involved in Sebastian’s latest project. After the unprecedented success of Restrepo for the National Geographic Channel, my only regret is that it took us six years to work together again!”
