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. And don't forget to watch Freed to be Wild movie to see the result of their journey!
