LOGLINE: American, world traveler and adventurer, Shawna Henderson guides Indian youth seeking intense activities while battling the elements of nature and fear to overcome their presentiments on an epic journey of a lifetime in the heart of wild and crazy, India.
BACKGROUND:
SHAWNA HENDERSON, host for India’s newest show series, Go with Shawna, has an extensive background in adventure sports including whitewater kayaking in South America, International adventure races in Mexico, big mountain extreme snowboard competitions in Canada and ocean surfing in Hawaii to name a few. Shawna knows how to control fear and stay focused in the mist of chaos finding joy in the adventure. She is ready to take on the wild side of India while sharing her passions with the youth, helping them discover what is possible. Adventure sports are relatively new in India and Shawna is on a mission to seek out these remote locations challenging herself and her companion.
Go with Shawna is about recognizing both triumph and disappointment, building trust and confidence throughout the quest. Shawna must overcome cultural differences and language barriers, at times, with the help of the India youth guiding her in situations that might be unfamiliar. The show is about making adventurous travel a realistic option for Indians highlighting moderate priced adventures. Shawna and the Indian youth learn more then they expected as they bond with the local communities in home stays taking in the culture, bizarre food and hospitality known throughout India. The places they go have a type of allure that draw you in and let the mystery of India penetrate into your soul.
Challenges of dealing with cultural differences, finding gear to participate in these activities, meeting the right people that will help facilitate the process and dealing with the elements of nature are just a few of the opportunities where drama and humor will occur. Throw a mixture of fear, fatigue and adrenaline and watch out because this show is on fire. Conflict and resolution; fight or flight the two move forward toward that sweet sense of accomplishment. Each episode follows a similar format where the main characters get deep into nature, challenge themselves, and then come back to share the stories and experiences with local people who have a few more things to share (food, culture, tradition). The main underlying meaning will be to educate and inspire Indian Youth to get out there and create their own wild adventures.
