A dying species, fractured guardians, and 54 minutes that'll wreck your weekend plans.
Set against the stunning backdrop of northern British Columbia’s wilderness, Wədzįh Nəne’ (Caribou Country) takes viewers on a contemplative journey through a rugged and remote landscape. Along the way, we meet those who live and work on the land – First Nations guardians, government biologists, and guide outfitters – each confronting the stark reality of declining caribou populations. This meditative film explores the profound connection between people and nature, and the enduring impacts of modernity on an ancient species.
