About this listen

 In the remote waters of the Bay of Bengal sits North Sentinel Island—home to the Sentinelese, a tribe that has resisted all contact with the outside world for thousands of years. Despite strict protection laws and deadly warnings, explorers, missionaries, and thrill-seekers have repeatedly attempted to reach the island, often with deadly consequences. This episode of Coast Files examines colonial invasion, the devastating impact outsiders can bring, and the haunting story of a man who believed it was his destiny to step ashore—no matter the cost.
