FREE RIDE PREMIERE 
From Thursday, 12 May at 21:00
Adventurer and survival expert Rob Greenfield has an  audacious plan - to cross South America with no money.  Packing only his passport and a toothbrush, he wants to  discover whether it really is possible to trek across the world and survive the elements, relying solely on the kindness and generosity of strangers. Accompanying Rob is  filmmaker James Levelle, documenting every step of their  journey. Whether it's bartering for a bed in a Brazilian  favela or sleeping under the stars in the Amazon, washing  plates in a backroad diner in exchange for food, or hitching  a ride on a big rig – Rob (and James) are determined to do  it. When faced with language barriers, extreme culture clashes, violent storms, searing heat and  punishing terrain, will Rob be able to convince complete strangers to lend a helping hand?
