Bear Witness

"Bear Witness" journeys to Svalbard, Norway -- 300 miles from the North Pole -- where the filmmakers take on profound challenges to film one of the planet's most intriguing creatures. Before the cameras even rolled, they had to create and transport a state-of-the-art arctic camp -- an environmentally friendly, self-contained, sled-mounted mobile facility with a kitchen, lounge area and sleeping quarters. The team navigated virtually impassable snow drifts and tenuous sea ice in their efforts to locate, track and film the majestic white bears. Their footage reveals the bears' struggles within their changing environment.
