Summary |
Documents 96 teams attempting to traverse more than a thousand miles in Alaska with nothing but 16 dogs and a sled. Between Anchorage and Nome, man and man's best friend must work together, care for each other, and play a disciplined game of strategy if they hope to be first to cross the finish line. For some, survival is worth much more than actually winning. Bonus feature: a team of top scientists and wildlife filmmakers explore Alaska's remote and rugged landscape to document the impact global warming is having on the landscape and wildlife. |
