Editorial Reviews

NATURE guest host Ewan McGregor visits Canada's remote Hudson Bay outpost of Churchill to investigate the annual invasion of hungry polar bears, hunting seals on the ice. McGregor watches town and wildlife authorities cope with both furry marauders and throngs of tourists. Viewers get a close-up look at polar bears wandering into town to be sedated, carted off to polar bear "jail," and returned by helicopter onto the frozen bay.

This review is from: The Polar Bears of Churchill with Ewan McGregor (VHS Tape)

I watched this program on Nature on PBS tonight and it was an excellent insight into Polar Bears, their lives and their relationship with humans in this remote Canadian town. The host does a wonderful job of sharing his expertise and excitement as he gets up close with these wonderful animals and those dedicated to their preservation. I have always enjoyed and admired Polar Bears and it is difficult to top the Nature series. This was a very pleasant surprise and I am ordering it for a good friend who shares my interest.
