AMAZON | The Journey to the Wildest Place on Earth That Almost No One Has Seen | Animal Documentary Follow a single drop of meltwater from a frozen Andean summit at five thousand two hundred meters all the way to the Atlantic, and you cross the wildest place on Earth. In this Wild Dominion documentary we trace that drop down the largest river on the planet — through cloud forests and flying rivers, past the famous meeting of the waters where black and white rivers refuse to mix, into a flooded jungle where fish swim among the treetops. Along the way you'll meet the tambaqui, a fish that plants trees; the giant water lily that imprisons a beetle overnight; the air-breathing pirarucú; the piraíba catfish that hunts in total darkness; and the dorado, which migrates more than ten thousand kilometers across a continent to spawn. You'll discover the Javari Valley, home to the largest concentration of uncontacted peoples on Earth, the freshwater-only Amazonian manatee, the water-hunting jaguar, the ancient Marajoara civilization, and the two extremes where river meets sea — the roaring pororoca tidal bore and a freshwater plume that pushes hundreds of kilometers into the ocean.
