CBC announces production of High Arctic Haulers is a go.
TV SERIES
t was announced
today that Great Pacific Media's HIGH
ARCTIC HAULERS, a CBC original factual series, premieres in 2019.
HIGH ARCTIC HAULERS offers a look
at Canada’s resilient, vibrant northern communities and the determined men
and women who help provide their lifeline to the outside world. These groups
are linked together by the summer sealift, when ships loaded with critical
cargo travel each year to the farthest reaches of the north to deliver food,
clothing, supplies and vital pieces of infrastructure.
The CBC announces High Arctic Hauler 8-part series is a go.
With no dock for the ships to tie
up to, the precious cargo is pushed ashore by tug and barge – racing the falling
light and tides. For generations, supplies have been delivered this way –
skillfully guided by crew members aboard the ships of Groupe Desgagnés
Incorporated, who battle elements, unpredictable ice and winds at the top of the
world. The responsibility is enormous. If the cargo fails to get through, it
can mean another twelve long months of doing without. In the quest to deliver
essential goods to Canada’s far north communities, a missed delivery is not an
option.
HIGH ARCTIC HAULERS features
culturally rich and diverse communities – people who choose to live in some of
the harshest conditions in the world. Still, their needs often mirror those of
other Canadians, and the relationship between the sealift crew and community
members is integral to a successful and productive life in the far north.
A
CBC original series, HIGH ARCTIC HAULERS
is produced by Great Pacific Media, a
Thunderbird Company.
