Environmentalist Leanne Allison and wildlife biologist Karsten Heuer follow a herd of 120,000 caribou on foot, across 1,500 kilometres of rugged Arctic tundra. The husband-and-wife team want to raise awareness of threats to the caribou’s survival. They let the caribou guide them through a wild and remote landscape, from the central Yukon to coastal Alaska and back. Dramatic footage and video diaries provide an intimate perspective of an epic expedition. At stake is the herd’s delicate habitat, which could be devastated if proposed oil and gas development goes ahead in the herd’s calving grounds in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
