END OF YEAR SALE: Until December 31, 2023, purchase both seasons for the price of one.
Season One:
Every autumn, over 1,000 starving polar bears travel directly through the northern town of Churchill, Manitoba to reach their hunting grounds on Hudson Bay. Polar Bear Town is an innovative documentary series that follows the migration of the world’s biggest land predator, the tourists who come to witness the spectacle – and the resulting conflicts it brings with the town’s inhabitants. A combination of gorgeous, behaviour-lead, blue chip natural history and action-packed observational documentary, Polar Bear Town reveals the remarkable relationship that exists between the polar bears and the people of Churchill, Manitoba.
“Takes viewers on an intimate journey to meet the marine mammals that call the area home.” - Jackie Mansky, Smithsonian Magazine
“This beautifully shot series follows the majestic beasts’ migration and the professional guides whose mission is to get their human clients close, but not too close.” - Kathryn Shattuck, New York Times
Season Two:
It's summer in Polar Bear Town! Thousands of beluga whales are in the bay and tourists are flocking to see them. Every fall, approximately 10,000 tourists from around the world descend on the tiny, isolated town of Churchill, Manitoba in Canada to see these animals, but this year is different - belugas aren't the only show in town. Polar bears are arriving earlier than usual. Guides have their hands full, with bears coming right into town, looking for food. If the bears reach their destination, it could be disastrous for tourists and locals alike.
“Unlike a typical reality series or straight documentary, Polar Bear Town brings the best of both worlds...filled with the tension that can only result from humans being so close to such a dangerous and beautiful creature.” - Chase McPeak, The Manual
