To the Arctic 3D: Directed by Greg MacGillivray. With Meryl Streep, Leanne Allison, Karsten Heuer, Bjorne Kvernmo. A journey into the lives of a mother polar bear and her two seven-month-old cubs as they navigate the changing Arctic wilderness they call home.

“This documentary film is about the life of wild polar bears residing in the Arctic.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThough it is just under 40 minutes long, u0026quot;To The Arcticu0026quot; transports us to an unfamiliar world where the landscape is just barren ice and snow. The landscape is beautiful, and the only life forms we see are polar bears. Filming the polar bears curiously exploring the camouflaged camera was a nice touch, as it was funny and provided a light touch to the documentary. The scene where mama polar bear protects her cubs from the other polar bear is tense and thrilling as well. However, it would have been good to have more educational elements as well. As it stands currently, it is more like a collection of footage of polar bears rather than a complete educational documentary.”
