"A dog really brings out the humanity in a person." - Heidi Ewing & Rachel Grady

This life-affirming documentary masterpiece from Oscar®-nominated filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady follows young people who decide to spend an unconventional year at a traditional folk high school in the Arctic wilderness of Norway to find courage, purpose and community beyond the digital world. The sled dogs become their teachers and mirrors. They demand patience, trust and self-confidence - and give unconditional solidarity in return.
With intimate observations, breathtaking landscape shots and a deep humanity, the film tells the story of a generation caught between digital alienation and the desire for genuine connection - on the edge of the world and at the beginning of their own lives.
