Filmmakers Ian McAllister and Jeff Turner and Executive Producers Kyle Washington and Byron Horner of Spirit Bear Entertainment are partnering with MacGillivray Freeman Films to distribute a beautiful giant screen film about one of the rarest animals on Earth—the fabled all-white Spirit Bear.

These remarkable creatures live in the lush temperate rainforests of British Columbia on Canada’s West Coast, where they hold almost mythic status among the region’s indigenous people. Shot exclusively for the giant screen, Great Bear Rainforest will offer a remarkable journey into one of the planet’s most spectacular wildernesses—a land of wolves, grizzly bears, humpback whales, sea lions, sea otters, and others—as it explores the secret world of the Spirit Bear. Length: 41:00
