Following electronics teacher and father Cam Cameron as he attempts to survive 60 days on Rockall, the UK’s most remote and dangerous island. Driven by a need to reconnect with his family, Cam’s quest is a test of endurance and a deeply personal challenge.
Having already lost his father and two brothers, Cam is his mother’s only surviving son - a burden that weighs on him as he prepares to break the world record. Only five people in history have spent more than one night on Rockall - a statistic lower than those who’ve been to the moon.
Facing brutal conditions and isolation, Cam’s journey raises questions: What drives a man to risk his life? And what toll does it take on those who love him? The documentary explores the true meaning of adventure and the sacrifices made in the pursuit of legacy, keeping viewers on edge of their seats.

claim seemed suspect since I assume 99% of people on earth have never heard of this speck of rock in the ocean, comparing it to the number of people who've been to the moon?

'tarded. There's a small hill in my backyard and less people have spent more than 1 night on that hill than have spent on that rock or the moon! 0 people. that's right, 0 people in history have ever spent more than 1 night on this hill I call "death's gaze hill of doom". and no one on earth can prove his claim wrong. It's such an insignificant thing zero evidence of any claims to the contrary exist. it's ridiculous.

It's a tiny outcrop of rock jutting out of the sea, how long a person can stay on it is determined 100% by weather patterns and luck it has nothing to do with endurance or strength of will or determination or any other factor. All this documentary can do is inform people that this "challenge" exists so it can easily be beaten by choosing the correct time of year to perform the challenge and praying that the weather holds.

his attempt failed, he had to get rescued by the coast guard after 30 days due to storm/weather
