Kalm Waes(2024)

Kalm Waes is a five-part documentary series following Tom Waes, the Belgian adventurer and television personality known for extreme challenges like running the Marathon des Sables and climbing El Capitan. This time, Waes trades adrenaline for science. A team of researchers attempts to calm his notoriously frayed nerves through a series of stress-reduction experiments, pushing him deliberately outside his comfort zone. The series explores whether the self-described stress bunny can learn to find peace, turning the tables on his usual high-octane format. Waes becomes both subject and participant in an unconventional wellness experiment that challenges his mind as much as his previous physical feats challenged his body.
