Court Whelan explains why polar bears depend entirely on Arctic sea ice and what happens as that ice disappears. Through an accessible blend of evolution, ecology, and climate science, the film traces how grizzlies became polar bears, how sea-ice ecosystems support seal, and why shrinking ice forces bears onto land where they simply cannot survive. With warming temperatures disrupting feeding cycles, habitat and long-term survival, the documentary highlights the urgent need for awareness, research and decisive climate action to protect one of Earth’s most iconic predators.
