This unique animadoc from director Aleksei Vakhrushev is a spectacular and visually impressive cinematic story about the vitality of the ancient Arctic culture.

In the frigid waters off of Russia’s Bering Strait, Inuit and Chukchi hunters still seek out the giant sea mammals that sustained their people since time immemorial. Life meets myth as a new generation of hunters sets out to sea to hunt the whales, walruses, and seals that have tied them to these remote shores since the beginning of time.
