The next film is live on Wild & Tame! If you like The Flower farmer you will love this. Wildlife cameraman and presenter Gordon Buchanan talks about being trapped in a glass box while a polar bear tries to eat him. He opens up about his mental health struggles and growing up in a house with domestic violence. We go on Gordon's boat to his favourite place "the most beautiful place on Earth".
