Airdate: Rogue Trip

Travel doco Rogue Trip sees US news correspondent Bob Woodruff and his son Mack, on a globetrotting adventure.

The six-part show from National Geographic follows the two as they visit nations and regions mostly known for conflict – and find themselves hiking, rappelling down waterfalls with former rebel fighters and diving and parasailing their way through some of the most surprising places in the planet.

Across six-episodes they visit Colombia, Papua New Guinea, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Lebanon and Ukraine.

“I couldn’t be more excited to share this series with viewers around the world,” said Bob Woodruff. “This is an adventure of a lifetime to be with Mack discovering together how every place on the planet has the power to surprise, amaze and inspire, despite its past.”

“Rogue Trip” is a story about second chances and the undying bond between a father and son. As a former war correspondent who was severely injured by a roadside bomb while reporting in Iraq in 2006, Bob Woodruff did not want his kids to grow up fearful just because of what happened to him. Bob has seen, and lived, through the worst of what these places have to offer, and now he and Mack explore the best in them. Along the journey, viewers will share the raw, big-hearted moments when ‘going rogue’ together changes the Woodruffs’ perspective – not just in other people and places, but in their own relationship.
