FISH OUT OF WATER is APTN's hit documentary series featuring host Don Kelly, as he journeys back to traditional native lands to discover the origins of his heritage. Through a series of misadventures, Don is pushed to his limits and re-connects with his roots and spiritual values. Don is our "Fish Out of Water". As a young, modern, First Nations Ojibway professional during the day, Don works as a successful executive for a national organization. By night he is a stand up comedian. Yet this super suave comedic genius must go back to the land to face his greatest challenges - by learning from his Elders.
