As part of a comprehensive content partnership, A+E Networks and Land Rover North America present All You Need Know: Overlanding, a 60-minute documentary that explores the burgeoning trend of overlanding, an outdoor adventure rooted in travel and exploration. Developed in partnership with the Land Rover brand’s media agency of record, dentsu X, the special features the capabilities of the new Land Rover Defender and is hosted by outdoor enthusiast Christian Murphy who embarks on a five-day off-the-grid overlanding adventure with global overland expert Scott Brady.
