Picture of His Life

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  Portland screening.

Film presentation in Portland is made possible by Rambler’s Way.
