Unearthed
Synopsis
Six would-be wildlife filmmakers from around the world converge on Shamwari Game Reserve in South Africa where they are given a series of tasks to teach them the tricks of the trade, culminating in a contest to find the best new filmmaker among them, to be decided by a vote of Animal Planet viewers all over the world.
Trivia
The Shamwari Game Reserve was also the setting for Safari School - in fact, if we've got our chronology straight, they must have accommodated the filming of the two series more-or-less back to back.
