DUAL SURVIVAL returns for a new season with naturalist Cody Lundin, Joseph Teti – a retired Force Recon Marine and former Army Special Forces Green Beret – as well as a brand new addition, survivalist Matt Graham, who joins the series mid-season with a fresh set of survival skills to challenge Joseph.

Together, these men – from drastically different backgrounds – take on some of the planet's most unforgiving terrain and demonstrate how the right skills and some creative thinking can keep you alive in real life scenarios. Equipped only with the gear likely to be available to them in real-life circumstances, the guys must draw upon their arsenal of skills, devising extraordinary ways of using what they find in their surroundings to stay alive.

Robert Redford’s inventive take on America’s most notorious political scandal feels like the first time you are hearing the story. ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN REVISITED brings the infamous Watergate political scandal to life with riveting archival footage, shocking Oval Office recordings, and compelling new interviews with those who perpetuated the crimes, those who pursued them and those who portrayed them. The two-hour special unravels the story that began with a “third-rate burglary attempt” and escalated into the first and only Presidential resignation in American history. A remarkable cast tells the tale, including Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein, Dustin Hoffman, Jon Stewart, amongst others.
