Discover a spectacular wilderness hiding in plain sight in AMERICAN AMAZON. Narrated by Louisiana native and award-winning musical artist Jon Batiste, this breathtaking cinematic adventure takes audiences into the untamed heart of the American South to uncover the extraordinary wildlife, hidden biodiversity, and rare beauty of one of North America’s last great hidden wildernesses.

Journey across Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, and the Carolinas into a wild and wondrous world of ancient cypress forests, fairytale swamps, winding blackwater rivers, and crystal-clear springs teeming with life. Come face-to-face with iconic American “swamp bears” and giant hellbender salamanders; encounter powerful alligators, playful manatees, and the elusive Florida panther; and take part in the mass migration of the world’s only social raptor, the swallow-tailed kite.

A land of untold stories and mysteries waiting to be revealed, AMERICAN AMAZON celebrates a remarkable wilderness unlike anywhere else on Earth—hiding right in our own backyard!
