Qimmiq Canada's Arctic Dog (24 Minutes)

The Eskimo dog--the Qimmiq--has been an integral part of northern Canadian life for almost two thousand years. Archival photographs and film footage illustrate how this hard-working purebred was used for hunting, pulling sleds and keeping polar bears at bay. However, by 1975, the breed, decimated by a changing northern lifestyle, was all but extinct. This inspiring documentary shows the dedicated efforts of biologist Dr. William Carpenter to revitalize the strain and how, with support from local Inuit societies, his breeding project has resulted in a growing and once again thriving Qimmiq population.

Tuktu and His Eskimo Dogs (14 minutes)

This short docu-fiction film illustrates how traditionally dogs were used by the Netsilik Inuit, in winter and summer. We see puppies and sled dogs used as pack animals. Eskimo dogs were also used for hunting, being particularly skilful at sniffing out seal blowholes when deep snow covered the winter sea ice.

Lost Wolves of Yellowstone unearths one of the most daring wildlife experiments in American history -- the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park after a 50-year absence. Told through long-lost 16mm archival footage, the film captures the tense early days of the project as a small group of Canadian wolves, held in acclimation pens, prepared to reclaim a wilderness that had nearly forgotten them. As biologists fought legal battles and public outrage outside the park gates, the wolves faced their own fight for survival within. What unfolds is a visceral, real-time portrait of ecological rebirth, political resistance, and the untamed spirit of nature given one final chance to return home.
