Polar Bear Town

Every autumn, 1,000 seal-starved polar bears migrate directly through the frontier town of Churchill, Manitoba. The population explodes from 800 to 10,000 with the arrival of tourists seeking once in a lifetime bear encounters. Armed with nothing but a flare gun, young gun Kelsey Eliasson guides his clients amongst the majestic bears - driven by passion and adventure, he pushes ever closer, determined to protect both the clients and the bears. His friend and mentor, Dennis Compayre is a bear whisperer whose charm works as well with the bears as it does with the locals. Former hippie lothario, Brian Ladoon may not be a guide, but he operates a roadside attraction where his Eskimo dog kennel attracts curious bears and tourists. (Viasat)
