Despite a rather overwhelming echoey banjo score this 2016 doc feels fresh as a daisy with likeable wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan visiting a Canadian town dealing with constant polar bear visitations. It's an intriguing portrait of a community trying to live around a dangerous but increasingly vulnerable wild animal in a changing climate. You feel for the people in the town who are bombarded not just by desperate and hungry bears, but by tourists and rubberneckers too. Overall the best white-haired interloper by some way is Buchanan who I'd keenly watch just shopping for cheese.
