Trailer Synopsis Cast

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is sacred land to the indigenous First Nations community of Canada; it is also an area where 40,000 caribou calves are born every spring. Krista Davis joins a 10-day expedition to follow the migration of the caribous and explore how we can critically examine our own relationship to the world around us with a camera. In what is ostensibly a wildlife film, she uses various artistic means to fundamentally change the format.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
