The Book of the Sea

In the harsh waters of Russia's Bering Strait, Inuit and Chukchi hunters continue the centuries-old tradition of whale hunting, a practice that is both controversial and essential to their survival. Through a blend of contemporary storytelling and ancient myths, this documentary animation delves into the struggles of the indigenous people to preserve their way of life in one of the most remote areas on earth. The film follows elders Aleksandr and Aleksei as they navigate the challenges of modern-day whaling, while also exploring the rich cultural heritage that has defined their community for generations.
