FISH OUT OF WATER II (13 Programs)

Our funny, unassuming, urban host, Don Kelly, continues on demanding journeys to his traditional native land. Through another series of misadventures, Don pushes his limited limits to re-connect with his roots and spiritual values - leading to his renewed vitality, deepened sense of personal identity, and vibrancy for life.
