Strait Through the Ice - Directed by Yves Billy. The melting of Arctic polar ice has led to an unexpected and radical geographic development: the emergence of a new maritime route between the Atlantic and the Pacific that is far shorter than the Panama or Suez Canals. Industrialized nations are keen to exploit the commercial possibilities of the strait, which courses through one of the most vulnerable and biologically unique places on earth. This French documentary explores the critical issues to be resolved by a handful of powerful countries as they weigh economic potential against environmental consequences.
