More Detail:
The first episode of season one, entitled “Sail into the Unknown”, is shot with documentary-style interviews in which the Meltons discuss the challenges they’ve faced as a family. From Tiffany’s cancer diagnosis, treatment, and remission to Jason’s brush with death during a skiing accident, the couple goes into detail about leaning on their faith through their recoveries. Their struggles led them to desire to make the most of their time on earth and create a one-of-a-kind experience for their family.
Inspired by the Woods family, an Instagram family who shares their sailing trips around the world with their followers, the Meltons reached out to meet Allen and Irenka Wood and their three children. The two families agree to meet in Croatia, where the Woods will teach the Melton family the ins and outs of sailing on a two-week voyage on their sailboat, the Eagle Ray. The first episode does a fantastic job of pulling the viewer in and setting the stage for the adventure to come.
The premiere episode of ADVENTURE IN WONDER has great production value with sweeping shots of beautiful landscapes, well-paced interviews and quality camera work. The personal stories and tragedies the Meltons have faced draw the viewer in, both challenging and inviting others to slow down and appreciate the beauty of God’s creation.
