Not sure if this has ever been sown in the US

Bruce Parry spends a month to 6 weeks living with a tribe in attempt to understand a little of their culture, share their lives and reflect on how the modern world is encroaching on their lives.
He does so fully immersing himself in the tribes ways and trying to genuinely live as a tribal member for his brief stay.
This is re-running on a UK satellite channel and I am hooked. It is both entertaining and thought provoking at the same time.
If this ever shows in the US - watch it - at least one episode to see if it makes you think as much as it has me
Cheers
