The Last Ice is a documentary film that explores the impact of climate change on the traditional way of life of Inuit communities in the Arctic. The film, directed by Scott Ressler and produced by National Geographic, follows the stories of Inuit elders, hunters, and activists who are struggling to protect their lands and culture from the rapid changes brought on by melting sea ice.
The film takes the audience on a journey through the frozen Arctic wilderness, highlighting the breathtaking scenery and wildlife that rely on the ice for survival. But as temperatures rise and the ice disappears, the Inuit face a new reality, one where their livelihoods are threatened, and their culture and heritage are at risk of being lost forever.
The Last Ice also explores the role of outside forces, such as the oil and gas industry, shipping companies, and tourism operators, who see the melting sea ice as an opportunity for profit. These industries bring new economic opportunities to the region, but they also pose a new threat to the delicate ecosystem and the traditional way of life of the Inuit.
The film challenges viewers to consider the long-term consequences of our actions and the urgent need for global action to address climate change. Through the stories of the Inuit, The Last Ice offers a powerful message of resilience, cultural survival, and hope for a sustainable future for all.
