‘Survive The Raft’ Social Experiment Series Lands At Discovery Channel & Max
deadline.comDiscovery Channel is getting in on the Max action with a new social experiment series. The cable network has ordered Survive The Raft, which will also premiere on the rebranded streamer in July.
The nine-episode series was inspired by Mexican anthropologist Santiago Genovés’ 1973 behavioral study that observed whether humans from diverse cultures and backgrounds could set aside their differences and work together during a 101-day voyage on the Acali.
