The TV show's producers said in their press release that “this will be one of the hardest journeys of their lives,” noting that the participants will have to travel through the territories of Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Serbia before reaching Greece and boarding a boat which will deliver them across the Mediterranean Sea to the Middle East.
Although the show has yet to be released this fall in Poland, it has already been criticized for exploiting the topic of migration for commercial gain, NBC News reported. Bogdan Czaja, assistant program director at TVN, was quoted by Poland’s media industry "Press" as saying that the show aims to provide fresh insight on the migration crisis in Europe.
