A daring Israeli underwater photographer spends 40 years taking stunning close-ups of aquatic wildlife, but one fearsome challenge eludes him: swimming beside a polar bear while filming the encounter. Stunning Arctic and underwater photography take us along with Amos on a thrilling yet lyrical journey of redemption and discovery.
Dr. Susan Kaplan and Dr. Genevieve LeMoine of the Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum and Arctic Studies Center, Bowdoin College, will be available to answer questions after the Brunswick and Portland screenings.
Film presentation in Portland is made possible by Rambler’s Way.
