The Arctic Circus
The Arctic Circus is a film that investigates the controversial tourism industry of Churchill, Manitoba. Billed as the 'polar bear capital of the world', Churchill has become a veritable media frenzy caught between the intersection of economy and environmentalism. The film explores the conflict between those locals who facilitate the tourism industry to share the image of an iconic animal and the enforcement that opposes its effects on their behavior. Offering perspectives on how both sides are trying to preserve the species and the extreme ends to which they'll go to do it on their own terms. Student Filmmaker: Connor Johnstone
