Siberian Cut

With their first season in the frozen forest behind them, the loggers of Siberian Cut take the hot seat. Could the future see a split in Sean Vann’s crew?

Soaring temperatures turn the only road out of the forest into an impassable river of mud. Sean Vann refuses to throw in the towel -but is he fighting a losing battle?

In frozen Siberia, Sean Vann and his crew of loggers battle sub-zero temperatures, cold war machinery and each other to make a fortune and save their family.

Sean Vann and his crew of American and Russian loggers push hard to step up production after their first week in the forest. But a lack of equipment and crew infighting makes one man question his future in Siberia.

This series follows American logger Sean Vann as he attempts to build a new logging operation in the frozen forests of Siberia. Vann has been logging in Russia for 17 years and landed a contract to log the world’s largest forest in Siberia. Vann looks to American loggers who are experiencing a recession and convinces a group of men from Montana and Oregon to leave the forests of America and seek their fortunes in the sub-zero ground of Siberia where they must work side by side with a Russian crew who have a very different view of the world, and a completely different way of working. The two crews will face each other, drive their convoy of logging machines deep into the forest, confront angry villagers, and cross the Trans-Siberian Railway during a storm all before they even begin to cut the timber that they hope will earn them their fortunes.
