SURVIVING BORNEO
"IT'S AMAZING TO THINK HOW GENERATIONS AGO, MY FOREFATHERS WOULD'VE BEEN DOING THE SAME."
Descendent of Sarawak’s Iban tribe – once a much-feared ethnic group from Borneo known for their headhunting skills, actor Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians) embarks on his “bejalai,” a voyage of personal discovery every Iban must undertake, a rite of passage to manhood, which essentially grants him the blessing to marry.
The gruelling series is a weeks long journey of cultural discovery and jungle survival that ultimately culminates in a tribal tattoo on his right thigh done in the traditional Iban style (note: painfully).
"The reactions I received transitioned somewhere between 'what the hell are you doing' to 'you are going to have the time of your life, man.' I guess people were excited about the whole concept because these are the sort of adventures that everyone wants to experience."
If you're interested in survival and nature, you'll probably dig Ed Stafford: First Man Out and Frontier Borneo.
