BENEFIT
FOR THE WIMBERLEY BIRDING SOCIETY
| GENRE:
Nature / Wildlife / Documentary
/ Adventure. "A real adventure in the
coolest place on earth," Arctic Tale features
breathtaking footage of life on the arctic tundra.
It is a heartbreaking documentary putting a face
on the sad statistics of global warming. The faces
are those of adorable polar bear cub, Nanu, along
with her mother, her brother, and her natural
enemy, the equally heart-melting Seela the walrus.
This true tale shows the effect of the melting ice
caps -- the disappearance of every species in the
ecosystem. Once a perpetual winter wonderland of
snow and ice, the walrus and the polar bear are
losing their beautiful icebound world as it melts
from underneath them. From National Geographic
Films, who brought you March of the Penguins and
An Inconvenient Truth. Although it has been
criticized for overly cute narration, it's
something you don't want to miss. |
