| Film Lengths | 22, 40 |
| Synopsis | In Alaska, life is defined by extremes—none greater than the short, explosive season when the land awakens and everything must grow, feed, and prepare before winter returns. At the center of this unfolding story, a pair of bald eagles raise two young chicks, their survival tied to a chain reaction that stretches from glacier to ocean and back again. As sunlight fuels plankton blooms, an abundance of life floods the coast, drawing in fish, whales, and bears in a race against time. Through the eagles’ domain, we witness a kingdom where every creature is connected, every opportunity is fleeting, and the forces that sustain life are the same ones that will soon test it. |
