Polar Bears
of Hudson Bay
In this short film wildlife ecologist and THE WILD host Chris Morgan travels to Hudson Bay, Canada, with KUOW producer Matt Martin & cinematographer Paul Bikis to join pioneering polar bear scientist Dr. Nick Lunn. The podcast and film crew document Hudson Bay polar bears with a unique focus on motherhood: its tenderness, its physical demands, and its fragility. Quietly hopeful and intimately observed, this short film weaves together footage of mothers and newborn cubs with the story of a researcher whose four decades of dedication reveal a population that has nearly halved since the 1980s — and why these bears are still worth fighting for.
