When a sacred predator is branded a nuisance, who truly belongs in their shared landscape? Set in Churchill, Manitoba, known as the Polar Bear capital of the world, and a decade after the director’s trip to the town in 2015, Gabriela Osio Vanden and Jack Weisman craft a vivid portrait of polar bear migration colliding with modern life as they gradually lose their habitats to human beings. Narration by Intuit elder Mike Tunalaaq Gibbons draws poignant parallels between the bears’ displacement and the experiences of his own people, while a stunning score by Emmy Award-winning composer Cristóbal Tapia de Veer (The White Lotus) deepens the film’s resonance.
