Arctic Calling

‘No one’s here by chance. Everyone was chosen for particular strengths’, Vladimir Shatunov, chief technical officer of ‘Clean Arctic’ team, says. Volunteers spent six weeks on an isolated island, the northernmost point of the Russian Arctic. They gained experience in sorting rubbish under the most extreme conditions and learned how to react if you see a roaming polar bear through the window. The documentary shows how volunteer work can make a difference and contribute to the conservation of the Arctic’s ecosystem.
