Trying to survive in desolate northern Canada
In 1953, a Canadian bush pilot based in Yellowknife (Barry Pepper) flies a routine gig in the area of Queen Maud Gulf of the Northwest Territories (which is Nunavut today). When he crash-lands with a sickly Inuk girl, their chances of making it back alive arent good. James Cromwell is on hand as the pilots boss in Yellowknife.
The Snow Walker (2004) is a survival flick helmed by Charles Martin Smith, who no doubt learned a thing or two about shooting in the remote North on the set of Never Cry Wolf (1983). It was based on a short story by Farley Mowat, who happens to be the character played by Smith in Never Cry Wolf.
Although beautiful in its own unique way, the setting is too on...
