POLAR BEAR SAFARI

Cinemavixion Review

Miro Cernetig and Josh Freed's "Polar Bear Safari" offers a stark look into the complex relationship between wealthy trophy hunters and the Inuit communities of Resolute Bay. Released in 2000, this documentary, also featuring Josh Freed in its cast, chronicles a 15-day expedition in pursuit of a polar bear. Beyond the hunt itself, the film delves into the critical economic reliance of the Inuit people on guiding such expeditions, underscoring the delicate balance between traditional livelihoods and modern tourism. While the film's reception and awards are not detailed here, it presents a thought-provoking perspective on a controversial practice and the cultural and economic realities it impacts.
