A non-broadcast documentary (made just for fun) filmed during a 2016 expedition led by Stewart McPherson in search of the rare and little-documented pitcher plant Nepenthes clipeata. In this film, Stewart McPherson travels to Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo, to climb a remote mountain called Mount Kelam in an effort to find N. clipeata - a carnivorous pitcher plant feared to be on the brink of extinction in the wild. During the journey, Stewart encounters numerous other carnivorous pitcher plants, including a spectacular black-pitchered form of N. albomarginata and N. reinwardtiana.
