Description

In 1968, Glendon Brunk moved to Alaska to pursue his childhood dream of living within the wilds of the last American frontier. He built his own log cabin, hunted and fished, worked with the native Inuit, and become one of the crucial world’s most sensible sled-dog racers. But he also watched the land he loved being destroyed by the tools of the very society he represented. Disgusted and distraught, Brunk left Alaska and hitchhiked across Africa, Asia, and North The usa, where he witnessed proceeding destruction from the hands of humans. He returned to Alaska, committed to fight to avoid wasting what is left of the wilderness. This private story explores the deeply American contradictions that make up brand new Alaska and questions our cultural inability to both love and give protection to the land.
