Narrated by Charlton Heston, Alaska is the ultimate story of survival, where life triumphs season after season against fierce conditions and challenges. It is a voyage into the last great frontier where nature enchants the eye with magnificent spectacles. A tribute to not only the majestic scenery of Alaska, but to the endurance and spirit of life. Many animals could not survive the Alaskan winter were it not for the bounty of salmon in the summer.
Summer is the greatest feeding event in Alaska.
While this film marvels at the survival of the salmon, it also features a fascinating array of animals including grizzlies, wolves, caribou, bald eagles, humpback whales, sea lions, moose, elk, black bears, polar bears and a variety of sea birds. It is a place little contaminated by the present, where we can rediscover a vitality and beauty vanishing from our lives. Whether or not we will ever reach Alaska, we all want to know such a place exists.
