Josh Low asked me to post this for anyone who needs a copy of "Oil on Ice" or "Being Caribou" before Arctic Action Day March 12. . Phyllis
If you would like to
show either “Being Caribou” or “Oil on Ice” there is still time to get a copy
before Arctic Action Day.
Just give me a call or
email and specify if you want “Being Caribou” on VHS or DVD. “Oil on Ice”
only comes on DVD.
Also, if you already
have a screening planned (no matter how big or small), please email me the
details: date, time, place so we can keep track of how many showings are taking
place.
The timing on this is
going to be awesome – there’s a strong possibility that this could come to a
vote the week of March 14 as Congress debates their budget
bills.
Thanks!

The response so far is overwhelming and our hope is this film will
help create a flood of letters to Congress people, Senators, MPs and the Prime
Minister, that convey the strength with which Canadians and Americans feel the
Refuge should be permanently protected — at a time when it is in seriously
serious danger of being opened by the U.S. to oil and gas development. This
despite the fact
Karsten
Heuer and Leanne Allison migrated with the Porcupine Caribou Herd from Old Crow
to the calving grounds in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and back again
from April to September 2003. It took 5 months and was an intense and
illuminating journey. This was Being Caribou, the expedition. Afterward, Leanne
teamed up with the National Film Board and Artemis Films to turn her footage
into Being Caribou, a funny, compelling, intimate, full-length film of the
journey. Being Caribou was released last September and has won awards at
festivals across
