Fat Men Can't Hunt

Season 1 Episode 3 - Episode 3

2008 · 58 min
TV-PG
The naive Brits have the stuffing knocked out of them as they confront the reality of life in the Kalahari bush. The tough lessons of hunter-gathering prove too much for some and just half way through the experiment eight are about to become five. Oxford grad Martin, an even-tempered software developer at home, in Namibia finds himself hungry, disillusioned, and verbally violent. Facing his food demons has made him mad with rage and in a hunger-fuelled diatribe lasting a whole day he attacks everything about the bushmen’s way of life, deeply offending the tribes people and dividing his fellow Brits. Comprehensively insulted by his venomous assault the Ju’/Hoansi Bushmen twice threaten to walk out. But frightened by his lack of control it is Martin who leaves, swiftly followed by two more of the male Brits. In general it’s the women who are faring best in the new environment, even when the screws are turned with a move to a new camp – richer in game, but even more remote and precarious. As the only man left standing it’s up to Mike to carry the burden of hunting for what’s left of the group.
