Nuisance Bear

Synopsis

Churchill, Manitoba is the polar bear capital of the world. Tourists point and shoot their cameras at the bears, who navigate through buggies, rifles, traps and people on this cold land. This stark, poetic film leaves you uncomfortable at first, to then make you ask, “whose land is it anyway?”
