Details:
In the winter of 2002, one of the largest gatherings of Native Leaders united in Washington, DC to express their steadfast opposition to oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and to reassert their solidarity with the Gwich'in Nation of Alaska.

With this united voice, Robby Romero documented a musical journey on dogsleds to remote villages along the porcupine Caribou migration route and traditional homelands of the Gwich'in.

The film premiered in South Africa at the United Nations World Summit and at the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in New York City, cultivating awareness about the critical need for permanent protection of America's Last Frontier.

"We had amazing feedback from our viewers and they enjoyed the educational ride, the critical message so eloquently brought across with the beauty of Alaska and music that could become a hit in South Africa" - Antonitte Terblanche, SABC Africa.
