The climate crisis already threatens communities around the world—especially Indigenous communities—and not just on the coasts. These shorts tell stories of disruption and displacement, and examine what the future might hold. 

Presented by the Hollomon Price Climate Change Series


In Canada, a remote Indigenous community is fighting for its survival in the age of climate change. Extreme weather, changes in ice formation, and wildfires have made hunting and gathering for traditional food more and more dangerous and difficult. Along the Winisk River is a portrait of a community as it comes together to embark on a caribou hunt in the freezing subarctic winter of Canada. The film explores the impacts of this struggle against a backdrop of systemic discrimination and calls for the government of Canada to do better to protect Indigenous communities.
