Survive the Raft - SERIES PREMIERE Sunday, July 30, 9/8c, Discovery

ROUGH SEAS AHEAD! Or at least a few waves of drama. Nine people from all walks of life set sail in this new reality show—based on a 50-year-old social experiment— that tests not only their survival skills but also their ability to simply get along.

Set adrift on the Acali II off the Panama coast for up to 21 days, the strangers bring different skill sets—and, of course, wideranging political and belief systems. A hunter and a vegan. A rabbi and a nonbeliever. In the opening minutes, a Black woman instantly pegs another participant as “a redneck” and “a racist.”
