Watch Snow Bears

Beautifully filmed and narrated by Kate Winslet (Titanic, The Reader, Sense & Sensibility), this stunning film is a real joy to the senses. Set against the magical but often harsh environment of the Arctic, Snow Bears follows the life-changing journey of two new-born polar bear cubs as they leave their den for the first time. Bravely led by their mother, the cubs must make the perilous journey to the sea to feed. It is imperative that they make it before the ice melts. Encountering many dangers along the way - including arctic foxes, roaming male bears ready to kill, extreme weather, snowdrifts and ice cracks - they undertake an epic survival challenge. Their struggle to survive is immense leaving you spellbound and emotionally drained by their experience. These cubs are rarely seen in their natural habitat and this fascinating programme provides us with a unique glimpse into their world. Originally aired on BBC1 as a boxing day prime time special attracting huge viewing figures and critical acclaim.
