The Book of the Sea
Available on iTunes
Life meets myth as a new generation of hunters sets out to sea. In the frigid waters off Russia’s Bering Strait, Inuit and Chukchi hunters still seek out the giant sea mammals that have sustained their people for time immemorial. Whales, walruses, and seals have tied them to these remote shores since the beginning of time. Contemporary experiences blend seamlessly with ancient myths, told here in vivid animation, in this ongoing struggle for survival and preservation of a traditional lifestyle in one of the most remote places on Earth. This is a spectacular story about the vitality of the ancient Arctic culture.
