Polar bears are the "kings and queens" of the Arctic. With the
exception of humans, they are top of the food chain. They are as
comfortable in the icy ocean water as they are on top of land and
ice. These amazing creatures have adapted to an unforgiving climate
and have become masters at their own survival. Yet the world is
changing - the hunting ice is melting, swim distances are
increasing- the usual nomadic routes of the polar bear are
challenged for resources necessary to their survival. So, what does
one polar bear do? He follows his True North. Take a romp through
the Arctic with Mato (MAH-toe) the polar bear as he navigates a
changing climate and being on his own. Gain insights into the cold
and barren Arctic ice cap as Mato learns about family, friendship
and forging a new path. Come to understand the moral of True North
as you journey alongside Mato through adventures with his sister,
mother, an Arctic fox and other male polar bears. Encounter several
creatures naturally found in the region as well as a couple of
characters from foreign places who come alive with dialogue,
mystery and little "magic." Witness the immediate and distant
effects of humans, past and present and the unique perspective only
a polar bear has. True North is certainly a fable, with animals
that speak and a moral that can be applied to everyday life- to
follow your heart. By doing so, we may learn to adapt in an
ever-changing world ourselves and, possibly, even thrive.
