Penguin Island
(Coming Soon)
With major support from the US National Science Foundation, this new film will educate millions of public viewers about the changing Arctic environment and its profound connection to the rest of the planet. Directed by Academy-Award nominated filmmakers Steve McNicholas and Luke Cresswell and developed in collaboration with the Siberian Yupik villages of Savoonga and Gambell on Saint Lawrence Island, Alaska, the documentary is a celebration of Yupik culture, language, music, and more, and reveals how human identity is profoundly tied to the natural world.
Project partners include the NSF-funded Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH); The Tribal Youth Media Workshop; Northwestern University; and a group of world-renowned museums.
