Kate Humble is on an incredible mission in the far-flung reaches of North Siberia – to meet with the Nenets, a nomadic people whose entire lives are spent herding reindeer along the Yamal Peninsula. Despite temperatures that can drop to an astonishing -54C, the Nenets have managed to survive in this unforgiving climate for centuries.
However, now they are being tested more than ever before, as drastic changes to the weather patterns due to climate change decimate their herds and mining companies disrupt migratory routes and desecrate pasture land. For this reason, Kate’s journey into Siberia is both fascinating and timely – but it is also fraught with dangers and difficulties that become apparent almost immediately when their vehicle breaks down en route.
This documentary takes viewers on a remarkable journey into one of the world’s harshest environments, and gives us a powerful insight into how extreme conditions can test even the most resilient people. You will experience first-hand just how difficult life in Siberia can be for those who inhabit it – and why it’s more important than ever that we act fast against Climate Change.
So if you’re looking for an amazing adventure full of danger, surprise and discovery, don’t miss out on this extraordinary exploration into the life of the Nenets of North Siberia – join Kate Humble on her unforgettable quest today!
