Written In Stone

WRITTEN IN STONE is the story of northwestern Canada's Mount Todagin. It's known as a "Serengeti in the sky" and yet it was once the ocean's floor. This ancient seabed vaulted into the sky upon the shoulders of warring mountain ranges. Here on this alpine plateau mowed close by relentless winds, life subsists on the narrowest of margins. But this seemingly inhospitable landscape is home to an exotic species of mountain sheep and the Native peoples who have used this mountain for millennia. This documentary explores how the very minerals that attract the sheep and the indigenous people may also cause them to abandon Mount Todagin...forever. (Verleiher-Text)
