THE RACE TO ALASKA
Zach Carver and Ian Morland
USA | 2019 | 98 min | Ontario Premiere
750 miles. Icy water. No motors. No support. This epic endurance race attracts the intrepid and unhinged who find their edge along a coastline that is as punishing as it is beautiful. THE RACE TO ALASKA is a documentary following the visceral experience of racers as they compete in one of the most difficult endurance challenges in the world. Described as “the Iditarod, on a boat, with a chance of drowning or being eaten by a grizzly bear,” it’s amazing anyone enters at all. There are no motors and no support – and nobody finishes without a story. It's an adrenaline-fuelled, 750-mile boat race through the dangerous and spectacular wilderness of the Inside Passage to Alaska. The film is a raw account of pulling through, again and again – a window into what collective stamina looks like.
ICE FISHING IN A CLIMATE CRISIS THAT PRECEDES A GLOBAL PANDEMIC
Peter Johnston

Does an ice fishing expedition really count if there isn't any safe ice to stand on, or is it more about drinking beer with your buddies in a cold cabin in the woods? A look back at a yearly tradition gone awry with the hindsight of living through a global pandemic.
KOA TALKING TO ME
