Series 1: Don't Follow in My Footsteps



Dad Mario is worried his 18-year-old son Xavier is going off the rails. Mario’s tough background led to his own mistakes in life, including a spell as an alcoholic and a period of homelessness. Now he is scared Xavier will make the same bad choices he did, and is hoping two days in the wild can stop his son from following in his footsteps.\n\nThe pair take on a blindfolded river navigation task, with each trusting the other to lead them safely over the slippery rocks, and there is a gruelling climb up a sheer cliff face. \n\nIn an emotional campfire chat, mediator Mo helps Mario show a more vulnerable side to his son, and Xavier reveals what’s behind his recent lifestyle.\n\nWill Xavier get the wake-up call his dad thinks he needs? And will Mario learn to trust in his son’s ability to make good choices for his own future?
