SYNOPSIS

Formerly titled "Call of the North", this sees an arctic zoologist and cinematographer Adam Ravetch and filmmaker Sarah Robertson have been filming with Super 16 cameras for six years in the frozen Arctic, where temperatures can drop to minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit. CALL OF THE NORTH" is an epic adventure that explores the vast permafrost world at the top of the earth. It is the nursery, the classroom, the playground, the hunting range, and the mating arena for two hardy denizens of the Great North: the endearingly burly walrus and the massively sleek polar bear. This follows the walrus and the polar bear on their journey from birth to adolescence to maturity and parenthood in the frozen Arctic wilderness. The walrus and the polar bear each discover nature¹s daily events and encounter the eternal mysteries around them as they grow up in a place that is quickly changing from the pristine land, ice and water that had until recently existed unspoiled for many, many thousands of years. The freezing snowy landscape of their Arctic home has always been expansive and big enough for both to thrive. It was a perpetual winter wonderland of snow and ice, perfect for wrestling and games of tag. Now these two giants of the North Pole are losing their beautiful icebound world as it melts from underneath them.
