Film Lens
The film follows an expedition in July 2020 to cross the Ungava Peninsula in northern Quebec. The team, consisting of eight members including scientists like Dr. de Larry and Pierre Gadbois, aimed to study plant and animal life in the region. They traveled from Montreal to Goose Bay and then paddled through various rivers and lakes, documenting their experiences and findings along the way.
As they navigated the fast-flowing waters and interacted with local Eskimo communities, the expedition faced physical challenges and learned about the unique characteristics of the rivers. The journey covered 325 miles through largely uncharted territory, culminating in a celebratory arrival at their destination, where they felt a sense of accomplishment for their scientific contributions.
