Former cricketer and star Freddie Flintoff is depending on pedal power as he embarks on the cycling challenge of a lifetime. Together with author, journalist and cyclist Rob Penn, Flintoff stars in two-part documentary Flintoff's Road to Nowhere, which sees the pair take on an epic journey into the dark heart of the Amazon, along a section of the world's most controversial mega-road: Brazil's Trans-Amazonian Highway. Along the way, they encounter an extraordinary range of people, places and situations with a focus on raising awareness of the heightened threat of deforestation. The result will be a dangerous, dramatic, entertaining, hair-raising and thought-provoking voyage of discovery through one of the world's most enigmatic regions, during a time of unprecedented change.
