High up in Canada’s Rockies, by a crystal-clear lake rimmed with old-growth forest, a moose is born. At the best of times, the odds are stacked against this leggy 16-kilo calf surviving its first year but now they’re sinking even lower. It’s never been more important to understand what happens in the first year of a moose’s life and this stunningly intimate documentary does just that by taking us deep inside the world of moose to experience a calf’s youth up close and personal. Watch in awe as a young calf grows up right before your eyes in a land of snow-capped mountains, grizzly bears and wolves.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director Susan Fleming.
