Enjoy Dominic D.'s interview with Alastair Fothergill and Jeff Wilson, Directors of Polar Bear
30Enjoy Dominic D.'s interview with both Alastair Fothergill and Jeff Wilson about the new film Polar Bear which releases on Earth Day April 22, 2022. Alastair Fothergill is an award-winning producer of some of the finest nature documentaries ever created. He’s known for such masterpieces as Planet Earth, Frozen Planet and several of Disneynature’s Earth Day Releases including this year’s new documentary Polar Bear which we’ll be discussing today. Jeff Wilson also has quite an impressive resume. Mr. Wilson has produced a variety of natural history films including Frozen Planet, Penguins and Polar Bear. He’s a documentary photographer who has traveled around the world capturing the behavior of some of the world’s most spectacular wildlife and landscapes.
Have you ever watched a film that left you filled with so much emotion that it rendered you speechless? Disneynature’s new Earth Day film Polar Bear has done just that. As a huge advocate for nature, I appreciate this film so much and truly believe that this just may be the film that inspires us all to create the environmental change that can save our planet.
This nature documentary follows the life journey of a mother polar bear and her two cubs. This brave mother navigates through some of the roughest and most dangerous ecosystems on our planet while teaching her cubs all about survival. Environmental changes over the years, however, have negatively impacted these ice bears resulting in an even greater struggle for existence. If these creatures are to survive in this modern world, they must learn to adapt and to pass new survival skills to their offspring which we are able to witness in Polar Bear.
Although the film is so heartfelt and difficult to watch at times, its footage is exactly what we need for a call to action because it creates awareness. If people are unaware of the causes and consequences of climate change, we can’t fix it. Directors Alastair Fothergill and Jeff Wilson have created a masterpiece filled with the most breathtaking scenes with each one serving to educate viewers. The cinematography is so captivating, and I especially love the aerial footage. Actor Catherine Keener adds a special touch to the film with her first-person narration of the female cub who shares how the memories of growing up alongside her courageous mother helped to shape her own motherhood.
The message in Polar Bear is about conservation awareness and a need for global commitment to make change. I’m hoping that this film’s message inspires others to think more about nature and what would happen if ecosystems were lost forever. Polar Bear also sends the message of the importance of strong family bonds and how for some species, these bonds are critical for survival.
I give Polar Bear 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 18. Adults, especially nature lovers, will also love this film. Polar Bear begins streaming exclusively on Disney+ on Earth Day, April 22, 2022. Mark your calendars and spread the word, this is a film that you don’t want to miss!
