About this show

Port Protection is home to the few who have left behind normal society and chosen a different life in a remote Alaskan community, where survival of the individuals and community cannot sustain without the other. With risk comes reward more profound than mere survival: a world of beauty and freedom with the security of community and without the constraints of bureaucracy.
