Deltas of the World

Deltas of the World

Hardly any other area is as unspoiled as the Yukon Delta in western Alaska. This fascinating network of swamps and river arms looks like a landscape at the beginning of mankind. Only 25,000 people live in this barren region, which is almost as big as Greece. Most of these inhabitants are indigenous and belong to the ethnic group of the Yupik. They make their living on the steep banks of the Yukon River. And in their villages, built on piles to protect them against flooding, you can see the effects of climate changes on nature - and on the community life of the indigenous population. On the trail of the national fish of Alaska, the salmon, the film follows the Yukon River and follows moose hunters, migratory birds and scientists who do research in the delta.
