Around the Arctic Circle
66º 34' North marks the magic border to the Arctic,
where nature reigns supreme and airplanes, dogsleds, snowmobiles and horses are
the only means of transport.
Only four million people live in the vast region north of
the Arctic Circle. Here nature reigns supreme, man has to adjust in a constant
tug-of-war between tradition and progress. The film crews travel to the most remote regions of the world.
In Canada, they meet daredevil pilots and gold diggers, in the Siberian tundra
they share the archaic life of reindeer nomads. In Murmansk, the only Arctic
city, they accompany a Russian oligarch, and accompany Inuit children in
Greenland who go searching for their roots and discover their future
instead. And they join 500 inhabitants
of a Norwegian island for the northernmost rock festival in the world.
This six-part doc series recounts tales from the
edge of the world: The difficult and beautiful moments in the lives of Inuit
kids, of prospecting adventures, lonely reindeer breeders and daring polar
pilots.
