The synopsis for Avatar The Last Airbender reads:

The four nations of the world once lived in harmony, with the Avatar, master of all four elements, keeping peace between them. But everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked and wiped out the Air Nomads, the first step taken by the firebenders towards conquering the world.

AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER, follows a young Air Nomad named Aang, as he reawakens to a world ravaged by war. Together with his newfound friends Sokka and Katara, he embarks on an action-packed quest to take his rightful place as the next AVATAR.

In the meantime, we were lucky enough to participate in a virtual press conference with the cast of Netflix’s Avatar The Last Airbender live-action series, where they discussed attending bending boot camp and learning different martial arts for each bending element (head on over here for the full story).
