[edit] Information

The term "poetry in motion" could have been coined to describe the spectacular photography and lyrical narrative that bring to life the two-year saga of a polar bear and her twin cubs. When spring beckons, "buried treasures of the arctic emerge to inherit the ice"--the great white bears. While on "an island halfway between the top of Norway and the top of the world, a fearsome silhouette appears"--a male great white bear that preys on whatever it can find in the harsh north, including many a great white bear cub. The mother guards her cubs and slowly teaches them how to survive in their harsh habitat. Helicopter shots of the ghostly beautiful landscape combine with inherent drama that make the 60-minute educational video play like a gripping feature-length film. This is the best of National Geographic magazine come to life.
