WINNER FUTURE WATCH - Documentary Edge Festival 2020

WINNER BEST CANADIAN DOCUMENTARY - Rogers Audience Choice Award 2020

“An absorbing documentary about resourcefulness under pressure and a woman’s determination to finish what she starts….extremely well-crafted … gorgeously shot… packed with tension” - Susan Cole, POV Magazine

"Viewers keen on putting their own culinary struggles in context will not want to miss this snapshot of what it’s like to mine for resources as if one’s life depended on it. For the Crockers, it really did." - Eric Kohn, Indie Wire 

Putting food security to the test in the far North of Canada - filmmaker Suzanne Crocker, living just 300 km from the Arctic Circle, removes absolutely all grocery store food from her house.

For one year, she feeds her family of five, only food that can be hunted, fished, gathered, grown or raised around Dawson City, Yukon. Add three skeptical teenagers, one reluctant husband, no salt, no caffeine, no sugar and -40 temperatures. Ultimately the story becomes a celebration of community and the surprising bounty of food that even a tiny community in the far North can provide.

After all, "First we eat, then we do everything else." - MFK Fisher
