The self-filmed hour-long documentary set to air later this year captures the family\u2019s experience battling against the harsh environment of the deserted island, including their time spent with the semi-nomadic Menawai tribe.<\/p>\n<p>Simon Downing, senior VP and head of factual and sport at Discovery, said: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to be working with Ed on this unique new commission, building on Discovery\u2019s unrivaled reputation as the home of survival and adventure. Once again Ed will be putting himself through the ultimate challenge, trying to sustain his family and protect them from the wilderness in an unfiltered, raw and honest way, using only his brains and his bare hands.
