Arctic With Bruce Parry (2011)

S1E3 Alaska

Bruce journeys to Alaska, the final frontier of wilderness in America, where contemporary pioneers are tapping into the ocean's immense resources. He immerses himself in life aboard a salmon fishing vessel and plunges into the depths of the Bering Sea in search of gold. Further north, he observes the Inupiak community's traditional whale hunt, a practice that clashes with modern society. This experience prompts Bruce to ponder a profound dilemma: is it more crucial to protect the life of a whale or to preserve a way of life that is fading?
