Strait Through the Ice: THE GREEN

Yves Billy, Director
As part of THE GREEN, Sundance Channel presents a series of documentary films focusing on timely and pressing environmental issues of the day.
The melting of Arctic polar ice has led to an unexpected and radical geographic development: the emergence of a Northwest Passage, a strategic maritime route between the Atlantic and the Pacific. Industrialized nations are keen to exploit the commercial possibilities of this shipping highway, which courses through a vulnerable, biologically unique region. Yves Billy's French documentary explores the critical issues to be resolved by a handful of powerful countries as they weigh economic potential against environmental consequences.
