Being caribou five months on foot with an arctic herd
Plot
Allison, an environmentalist, and Heuer, a wildlife biologist, follow a herd of 120,000 caribou on foot, across 1,500 kilometres (900 Miles) of Arctic tundra, in order to raise awareness of threats to the caribou's survival. At stake is the herd's delicate habitat, which is threatened by proposed petroleum and natural gas development in the herd's calving grounds in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Awards
Winner of approximately 20 awards and honours, including a Gemini Award and most popular Canadian film at the Vancouver International Film Festival.
