Chukotka: Unconquered. The making of Freed to be Wild

Adventures in the land of bears and endless days

It's an adventure of a lifetime, a real road movie, meeting extraordinary people and fantastic animals, and seeing life from a new perspective. This is the story of an RTD crew shooting a documentary about the 25th anniversary of the World Wildlife Fund in Russia. Getting to Ryrkaypiy - one of the remotest villages in Chukotka – was an ordeal. Still, the natural beauty of the Arctic tundra and human selflessness they encountered along the way made the trip worthwhile.
