-40 Degrees Celsius

It is -40 degrees and pitch dark in a small subarctic town. The phone rings. You bike to work up hill 9 km in temperatures where steel cracks.

Edge of Eden: Living with Grizzlies
Jeff and Sue Turner
Canada, documentary, 2007
88 mins.

In Kamchatka, the most easterly region of Russia, a little miracle with huge implications is in the works. Considered by many to be the most dangerous animal in the world the grizzly bear, an endangered species, finds a protector and defender in Canadian conservationist, Charlie Russell. As a surrogate mother he struggles to reintroduce orphaned cubs to the wild against the backdrop of a dramatic landscape filled with lurking predators and poachers. Filmed in the course of a year, this relationship is bound to fill you with awe and sure to win your hearts and minds.
