Being Caribou

Synopsis

In the Arctic tundra, wildlife biologist Karsten Heuer and environmentalist Leanne Allison track a herd of 120,000 caribou along a 1,500 km migration route. Their expedition highlights significant environmental threats, including climate change and habitat loss, that jeopardize the survival of these animals. Battling harsh conditions such as icy rivers and swarms of mosquitoes, Heuer and Allison document their experiences through video diaries, providing an in-depth look at the challenges faced in understanding caribou migration patterns. Directed by Leanne Allison and Diana Wilson, "Being Caribou" offers a critical perspective on wildlife conservation.
