Farthest North The End of Ice

Upcoming. Chukotka. North-Eastern Siberia. Traveling again with Andrei Volkov, we will live with coastal marine mammal hunters near Provideniya and Lavrenty, then travel inland and to stay with reindeer herders.

The indigenous people of Siberia were devastated first by Stalin, then by the fall of communist regime and the reversion to capitalism. Traditions have been squelched, and poverty is rampant. But they are struggling to maintain their identity and fighting for their indigenous rights. We will follow one hunter and his family and go to the heart of their struggle to maintain the old and live with the new, and for, simply, survival.
