Last night I saw the documentary film "Being Caribou" and I highly recommend it. In 2003 a Canadian couple traveled on foot for five months across the tundra following the annual caribou migration from Yukon Territory to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, where the caribou give birth. (They got periodic food drops, but their packs were pretty heavy!) The scenery is beautiful, I learned a lot, and there are elements of humor throughout (for example, they bring along a George Bush doll so he can see the land he wants to open to drilling). The baby caribou are very cute! If you're interested in getting a copy of the award-winning film or having a screening in your home town, go to www.beingcaribou.com.
