Documentary Description
The Arctic is the harshest environment on Earth: little food grows,
it's dark for months on end, and temperatures stay well below freezing
for much of the year. Yet four million people manage to survive here.
Human Planet tells remarkable stories of extraordinary people who make
their homes in nature's deep freeze.
In springtime, Amos and Karl-Frederik set out across the sea ice with
their dogs to catch a real-life sea monster: a Greenland shark! Inuit
mussel-gatherers venture underneath the sea ice at low tide for a
perilous race against time as they gather their food.
And the children of Churchill, Manitoba, set out on the most
dangerous trick or treating Halloween in the world: they risk coming
face-to-face with deadly polar bears on the streets of their town.
Who'll get the tastiest snack?
