What Parents Need to Know
About Last One Standing
Parents need to know that this edutainment series -- which follows Western athletes as they compete in tribal competitions around the world -- includes graphic images of painful initiation rites of passage, dangerous fighting matches, and (non-sexual) indigenous nudity. Some of the cultures' practices may seem extreme from a mainstream American point of view, and the combat can get quite intense. Teens should be able to handle it, but it's a little strong for younger viewers.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how different cultures view sports and other physical challenges. How did wars evolve into competitions? Is winning a competition like winning a battle? Do women ever participate? Families can also talk about Western participation in indigenous events. Is it exploitative to have outsiders competing in tribal rituals to entertain Western audiences? Why would these communities allow outsiders to participate in events that are sacred to them? How does your own background affect your perspective of other cultures' practices? Can you truly understand a group's traditions without being part of that group?
