"The wildlife refuge Izembek occupies a small portion of Alaska's Bering Sea coast. This stretch of wetlands, tundra and coastal lagoons supports a remarkable range of wildlife. For decades, it's also been at the centre of a dispute over a proposed road that would link two isolated villages by cutting through this federally protected wilderness. This cinematic short film produced by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology provides a portrait of the landscape, showing both its sublime beauty and the wildlife that rely on it, while prompting viewers to consider what could be lost."
