Where the Road Ends: Living in Canada’s Wild North | Full Documentary
In this documentary, the north beckons. Pure, uninhabited and for many visitors with its almost endless lonely wilderness still full of secrets. In 1972 the Kluane National Park was founded in southwestern Yukon - an area almost as large as Belgium, with spectacular natural phenomenas such as Mt. Logan, Canada's highest mountain at 5,959m and the world's largest non-polar glacier field. Breathtaking, how big ice chunks are loosening and fall into the sea with a big roar. From a ship, the glacier field looks like a huge wall of icebergs - from land, the ""cold magic"" of the ice fields, which reach into infinity, truely fascinates. Far away from civilisation, a dream has come true for Emma from Northern Germany: She works on behalf of the Canadian parks at a lonely little place called Haines Junction. A settlement where the road simply ends.
Thor, Holger and Emma: Germans who no longer want to miss the feeling of vast in nature: What moves them - and other German-Canadian scientists and rangers - in their everyday life out here, in the icy north, in the wild west? How do they experience and create the current role of the great national parks?
For one year, the production team accompanied these heroes in the wild beauty of Canada - from the snow melting in spring, through the intense Indian summer, to winter onset.
