About Expedition Week
Travel with adventurer, explorer and tribal expert Piers Gibbon to ancient cultures to see if traditional practices—such as swallowing the still-beating heart of a freshly killed chicken or slurping broth from a boiled termite nest—can succeed where prescription drugs, surgery and therapy have failed in The Witch Doctor Will See You Now, which kicks off National Geographic Channel’s fourth Expedition Week. Then embark on a global quest to unearth the secrets of the gold hoard, hunt for the giant squid, locate the tomb of the legendary warrior Genghis Khan, and investigate new theories about the Salem witch trials and race solo across Antarctica to the South Pole.
