Alaskan Bush People is an American docudrama-style reality television series that follows the Brown family in an attempt to survive in the remote wilderness, apart from modern society. The series premiered on the Discovery Channel on May 6, 2014. Filmed on location in Alaska near Copper Center, Hoonah, and Chichagof Island, with later seasons filmed on location in Okanogan County, Washington, it follows the extended Brown family's life. Although purportedly a genuine reality TV show, it has been criticized for being scripted and/or fake.
