Description

Deep in the Russian Arctic, the Yamal Peninsula is home to the world’s largest gas exploitation zone- and the Nenets, an indigenous tribe of nomadic reindeer herders who have lived here for over 200 generations. Now, a massive industrial boom driven by energy giants (Novatek, TOTAL, CNPC) is colliding with a fragile ecosystem. As gas fields, railways, and nuclear icebreakers reshape the landscape, the Nenets face a double threat: aggressive industrialization and rapidly accelerating climate change. With the permafrost melting and 70% of the indigenous population living below the poverty line, can this ancient way of life survive? This stunning documentary offers exclusive access and breathtaking aerial footage of an extraordinary people fighting to adapt as Russia takes over the wealth of the Arctic.
