"One of the landmarks in the long and rich history of Canadian documentary filmmaking." — Martin Knelman, The Toronto Star
The Polar Sea is a multi-platform, ten-hour journey through the fabled, beautiful — and rapidly melting — Northwest Passage, travelling alongside amateur sailors, scientists, hunters and artists on a route from Iceland to Alaska that would have been all but impossible a decade earlier.
As the Arctic's ice disappears, a strange new terrain is emerging — one filled with both ominous danger and seductive possibility.
Shot from dozens of vantage points, including pioneering 360-degree cameras, The Polar Sea takes viewers deep into a world that, until now, simply didn't exist to be seen.
