Great North

Great North shows us unique ways of living that are perfectly adapted to extreme environments. Patience, a respect for nature's lessons and the bonds of community are what's needed. Inside their snow houses and tents, we watch the Inuit and Saami, who live on the roof of the world in Canada and Sweden, passing on what they know to their children, making sure their way of life will remain eternal. At the heart of their lives are the caribou and the reindeer whose remarkable journey reveals the majestic Arctic landscape.
