Filmmakers Alastair Fothergill and Keith Scholey chronicle a year in the lives of an Alaskan brown bear named Sky and her cubs, Scout and Amber. Their saga begins as the bears emerge from hibernation at the end of winter. As time passes, the bear family must work together to find food and stay safe from other predators, especially other bears. Although their world is exciting, it is also risky, and the cubs' survival hinges on family togetherness.

"Beautiful footage, but I found the narration and anthropomorphizing just too annoying to make it all the way through this one. "

"Beautiful cinematography. John C. Reilly’s narration is fun, but the script is a little manipulative. Creating drama for the sake of telling a story that anthropomorphizes the bears unnecessarily tends to be annoying. They have enough personality and intelligence, we don’t need to make it seem like their thinking or saying things to serve the interests of the filmmakers."
