Electric Amazon

The Amazon is one of the wildest and least civilised parts of the planet, but little do we know, in the network of rivers and streams is an electric grid - a bizarre community of fish with a highly sophisticated electric sixth sense. Using electricity, these 'super fish' can communicate wirelessly, control each other remotely and emit shocks that can stop a human heart. This cryptic world has mystified scientists throughout the ages. Now an intrepid scientist, Will Crampton, ventures back into the dark jungles where the inspiration for our technology driven world first emerged, in an attempt to unravel their secrets and unlock the electric code.
