Could You Survive 7 Days in the Real Wild West?

For decades, Hollywood convinced us the Wild West was a land of fearless cowboys, legendary gunfights and heroic lawmen. But how much of that was actually true? Step into the American frontier and experience what surviving just one week was really like. From brutal cattle drives and filthy frontier towns to deadly diseases, freezing blizzards, dangerous river crossings and the harsh realities of everyday life, this documentary separates myth from history using documented evidence, historical accounts and the experiences of the people who actually lived it. Discover why most people didn't fear famous outlaws as much as hunger, weather, illness and simple bad luck—and why surviving the Wild West had far less to do with being the fastest draw than enduring the countless dangers of ordinary frontier life.
