These are Alaskan polar bears. While Churchill and other locations have been a staple of traditional polar bear programming, this is the first film to document American polar bears in the Alaskan arctic.Polar Bears of Arctic Alaska is a cinematic family portrait of polar bears on the scenic Beaufort Sea coast. Without a word of narration, Alaskan filmmaker Arthur C. Smith III reveals fuzzy cubs as playful students, their sows tender teachers. A gentle musical score enhances the beauty of this endearing documentary of the wild and beautiful North American polar bear.Polar Bears of Arctic Alaska was filmed and produced from the Inupiaq Eskimo village of Kaktovik, which lies within the boundaries of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge on Alaska's Barter Island in the Arctic Ocean. The film shows never-before-seen sequences of polar bear play, survival, and socialization.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

total amateur rip-off by Jeanette Mckinney  1 Stars
July 06, 2009
this dvd was a pathetic attempt at realism. I expected something unique and very different from the polemics that we see on pbs. the video-ographers did not translate a bear experience to the viewer in spite of living "in the village" for a year. I will not share the dvd with friends.
