Stroud journeys to the top of Baffin Island in rural Nunavut, Canada: the arctic. He returns to visit the small Inuit community called Pond Inlet. The integration of modern technologies has ensured cultural and physical survival in an environment where temperatures can drop below -40c. But today, Pond Inlet faces its greatest challenge: climate change. Gone are the dogsleds, Stroud witnesses the marriage of Western technology and indigenous knowledge in the face of rapid economic and cultural change as the ice slowly recedes from the North.
With award winning, never before seen ceremonial and survival footage, Les Stroud crafted this stunningly beautiful and compelling series about connecting to the earth through survival and ancient ceremonies with indigenous cultures around the planet.
