Synopsis: Immerse yourself in the “Seasons of Life”
of a heroic Polar Bear Mother who has to
protect and provide for her hungry cubs everyday
in the everchanging arctic weather extremes.
Feel the constant high winds, see the amazing
arctic night skies (Aurora Borealis) and explore the
Western Hudson Bay shoreline.
Roam the expansive tundra territories in the
spring, summer and fall seeing arctic & gray wolves,
lynxes, arctic & red foxes, wolverines, and moose.
Arctic birds of prey (gyrfalcon, golden & bald eagles,
great gray owl, snowy owl, great-horned owl and
peregrine falcons) are also an active part of the
film’s arctic seasons of life.
Plunge into the winter’s frozen icy cold waters
with the stealthy polar bear mother and cubs
to hunt on the deep sea ice for their life-saving
high energy food- ringed and bearded seals.
Arctic predators (mostly male polar bears, arctic wolves)
will challenge this endangered polar bear mother’s
courageous survival instincts. As a mother, she will
nurse her cubs even without nourishing herself
to rapidly build their strength and to grow them
to be independent as magnificent marine and
land predators within two to three years.
Her cubs are part of the next generation of hope
for polar bear survival.
