A beautifully styled portrait of the Yukon in Canada’s far northwest. Once, people came here to find freedom and fortune and to live in a vast and breathtaking mountain landscape, but years of intensive mining have inflicted immeasurable damage on the landscape. North tells the story of this Canadian territory in a poetic but nonetheless confronting way. We hear the memories and stories of the former mine workers, and of the original and current inhabitants of the area.
