This beautifully filmed and emotional wildlife drama, narrated by Kate Winslet (Titanic, The Reader, Sense and Sensibility), will leave you spellbound. Set against the magical but often harsh environment of the Arctic, Snow Bears follows the life-changing journey of two new-born polar bear cubs as they leave their den for the first time. Bravely led by their mother, the cubs must make the perilous journey to the sea to feed. It is imperative that they make it before the ice melts. Encountering many dangers along the way including arctic foxes, roaming male bears ready to kill the cubs, extreme weather, snowdrifts and ice cracks they undertake an epic survival challenge. These cubs are rarely seen in their natural habitat and this fascinating programme provides us with a unique glimpse into their world. Originally created for BBC One, this critically acclaimed film attracted huge audiences with a joy filled and uplifting story of survival against the odds.
