Spirit of the Bears is a unique one-hour documentary that presents the North American black bear, the grizzly, and the polar bear from a fresh and original perspective.
Through dramatizations of Indigenous legends and encounters with seasoned scientists as well as passionate experts from First Nations communities, the film goes beyond the usual portrayal of the challenges bears face and the solutions proposed to help them.
Indeed, Spirit of the Bears seeks to reveal the deep connection that has bound humans and bears for millennia. In a reality where tradition and science come together to remind us that we share this world, it becomes clear that the time has come once again to unite our efforts to protect it.
The documentary is hosted by Karine Genest, a passionate adventure guide who has lived and worked alongside bears for many years.
