"A grand fable, masterfully told…dexterously intertwines social and historical factors that shape life for animals and humans up north." – POV
Churchill, Manitoba, is the self-proclaimed "polar bear capital of the world, but when a bear's ancient migration collides with modern life, it becomes unclear who truly belongs in the shared landscape. Through encounters with delighted tourists, concerned locals, wildlife officers and hunters, we watch as the bear is forced to navigate an increasingly urban world. With stunning photography of both the bear and landscape, this artistically innovative portrait of a sacred predator gives rise to bigger conversations about the climate crisis, conservation, migration and the rights of habitation.
Includes post-screening Q&A with special guest.
