Nature #2815
Filmmaker Joe Pontecorvo gives us a tour of camp and a run through of the filming equipment he'll be using to capture the brown bears living off the Alaskan coast.
Nature joins adventurer and bear biologist Chris Morgan and filmmaker Joe Pontecorvo on a year-long motorcycle odyssey deep into Alaska's bear country to explore the amazing resiliency and adaptability of these majestic animals as they struggle to make a living in five dramatically diverse Alaskan ecosystems: coastal, urban, mountain, tundra, and pack ice.
