\nThe one-hour documentary, from Academy Award\u00ae<\/sup>-nominated filmmaker Darren Aronofsky\u2019s Protozoa, Jane Root\u2019s Nutopia, and Chris Hemsworth and Ben Grayson\u2019s Wild State, premieres Nov. 23 at 9\/8c on National Geographic and streams the next day on Disney+ and Hulu.<\/p>\n

Through the stunning, vast landscapes of Australia, Chris and Craig’s journey becomes a funny and moving exploration of a father and son’s bond, proving that love, community and shared experience can be potent medicine.<\/p>\n
