Cream of the North

This two-part film shot by Arturo Simondetti chronicles a 2024 expedition from Yellowknife to Kugluktuk.

Part One: The Upstream Grind

Arturo Simondetti and Frank set off from Yellowknife, heading upstream on a remote 1,350 km route. Wolves, grizzly, musk ox, moose, caribou, black flies and mosquitoes are our only companions as we grind our way upstream and portage through burns.

Part Two: The Arctic Ocean

The final installment of the 36-day journey. From the headwaters of the Hood River, the team runs thrilling whitewater down to the Arctic Ocean, carrying on along the Northwest Passage to the finish at Kugluktuk.
