Documentary Show Overview
What happens when you take 30 athletes from around the country and put them through special forces training? That’s what A&E’s History Channel expects to find out with The Selection, a new documentary social experiment. From obstacle course racing professionals to football players to parkour runners, the show will see who has what it takes to pass the most difficult challenge of their lives without giving up or without being performance-dropped. This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for the 30 challengers. Soldiers put in countless efforts and hardships in military training. Military coins were usually awarded to encourage them. Wish these challengers success.
