- Adventurer Capt. Jack Robertson and champion archer Art Young set out to explore the wilds of Alaska and Siberia, relying on Young's skills at archery for meat. They are present at the breaking up of the thick ice on the Yukon River, hordes of salmon fighting to go upstream during spawning season and come across such wildlife as Kodiak bears, mountain sheep and Arctic deer.
- Native nations of the Yukon River basin join forces to heal the watershed from a century of harm. Enlisting the cooperation of scientists and polluters, indigenous tribes adopt a revolutionary approach to restoring their waters, lands and wildlife damaged by contamination from military, mining and municipal sources.
- Beautiful landscapes set to meditative poetry, lead by a crew of nine strangers as they spend 60 days exploring the wilds of the Yukon River.
- A documentary recounting Dr. Leonard S. Sugden's boat-and-raft trip down the Yukon River and its White Horse Rapids.
- The direct cinema film touches on various passages in the alternative lifestyles of three wilderness "bush" couples living on the Yukon River, 100 miles below the arctic circle. The camera follows the central couple while they salmon fish on the Yukon by boat in summer, hunt bear in fall and caribou by dogsled in winter. We see tender domestic scenes rarely associated with this harsh and challenging lifestyle. The film's light touch allows subtle themes to emerge without advocating a point of view. These people live as few others do on our planet, far away from all civilization and society. And yet the film reveals how even the slimmest contact with humanity can reveal something true about humanity. The film focuses on the character Nancy and her struggles to define herself in her relationship and in her life. Her partner, Core, is the adept Native Canadian whose prowess in the wilderness is vivid. The film was shown at the Cinema du Reel Festival, Paris; The Munich International Documentary Film Festival; and the Chicago International Film Festival, where it won a Silver Hugo trophy.
