Hugh Kroetsch, 85, and his filmmaker son Frederick travelled north last summer, visiting communities the elder Kroetsch had first seen as a fur trader in the 1950s. The film was produced by Frederick Kroetsch. "It took 50 years off of him," Frederick said of his father in an interview with CBC Radio's Edmonton AM. Frederick was inspired to take on the project after discovering some long-lost footage his father had shot in the Arctic. Hugh Kroetsch, 85, spent more than a decade working in the Canadian Arctic before finally settling in Alberta.
