Product Description
No Guts. No Gator.
Deep in the heart of Louisiana lies America's largest swamp – a million miles of inhospitable bayous, marshes and wetlands where nature rules and humans struggle to tame it. Many of its inhabitants are the hardened descendants of French refugees who were forced out of Canada in the 18th century and settled in this harsh yet majestic environment. Season One of Swamp People takes you on a journey to the hidden world of America's southern heartland, where the folks who dwell here live on the fringes of society and are known as Cajuns. Resilient, self-reliant and fiercely independent, the Cajuns of the Atchafalaya Swamp still carry on many of their ancestors' trades and traditions.
HISTORY’s Swamp People follows these swampers through a time of year that is crucial to their survival: the 30-day alligator hunting season. At its core, this is a uniquely American story of a proud and skilful people fighting to maintain a centuries-old way of life in a rapidly modernising world, despite the many perils and trials that stand in their way.
• From the channel that bought Ice Road Truckers and Ax Men to our screens, SWAMP PEOPLE focuses on those who risk their lives just to make a living.
• Includes all ten episodes of season one across three discs.

Wow, this series was really interesting, the local folk of Louisiana are tough indeed, and very determined in their work. The local accents, the 'stick together' attitude, and their friendliness really good. After each series all you want to do is to get onto the next. Brilliant stuff.

I like deadliest catch because you get to follow people living very different lifestyles, this is similar in that regard.
We follow several small metal boat fisherman during alligator season (think king crab in the swamp). The characters are strange and very likeable and the documentary is well constructed. The shots of the scenery and wildlife are breath-taking. I caught myself trying imitate Troy's accent "choot, choot! Dat aint no baby, dat dere's a tree shaker - whoo!". It has sparked an interest in the cajun livestyle and it will definately be worth a holiday in the bayou one day. I really hope there is a series 2
