IN THE AMERICAS WITH DAVID YETMAN

IN THE AMERICAS WITH DAVID YETMAN showcases the landscapes, peoples and history of North America and South America — from the frigid, glacier-carved barrens of northern Canada to tip of Tierra del Fuego in Chile. During the 10-part series, host David Yetman (The Desert Speaks)visits Mayan temples in Guatemala, isolated settlements in British Columbia, ancient fortresses in Mexico, the wild mountains of western Argentina, colorful festivals in Columbia and the often ignored Great Lakes of the United States. Along the way, he meets natives and immigrants, islanders and mainlanders, pastoralists and city-dwellers, including Japanese immigrants in the Amazon, the descendants of poor Italians in Chile and the Quechua people of Peru.
