Inspired by his late mentor to explore life's big questions, Will throws himself into incredible challenges for 100 days: skiing to the South Pole, catching a giant anaconda, milking a venomous tarantula, climbing mountains, and diving under the ice of the North Pole. He will venture from pole to pole in the company of scientists, explorers and local experts.
Told with a cinematic scale, access, and authenticity only National Geographic can deliver, this once-in-a-lifetime adventure blends cutting-edge science, environmental storytelling, and bold exploration. Guided by experts, scientists and explorers, Will helps make world-first scientific discoveries and forges profound human connections — from the Amazon's Waorani community to the Kalahari's San people,whose knowledge and resilience offer powerful lessons about our future on the planet. Pole to Pole with Will Smith is an epic global undertaking defined by endurance, wonder and hope.
