This is an amazing show. It was on TV over the holidays. It points out how climate change is changing the oceans, beginning with Hudson Bay. The Inuit depend upon the eider ducks for food and clothing.
I sent a donation for the work they do.
It makes today's anticipated -17 blizzard a little more tolerable.
If you can,
buy it or rent it. It surely opened up my eyes. They sent me a lovely postcard in thanks for my donation.

| Belcher Isl. in Hudson Bay |
Featuring stunning footage from seven winters in the Arctic, People of a Feather takes you through time into the world of the Inuit on the Belcher Islands in Canada's Hudson Bay. Connecting past, present and future is a unique relationship with the eider duck. Eider down, the warmest feather in the world, allows both Inuit and bird to survive harsh Arctic winters.

Traditional life is juxtaposed with modern challenges as both Inuit and eiders confront changing sea ice and ocean currents disrupted by the massive hydroelectric dams powering New York and eastern North America. Inspired by Inuit ingenuity and the technology of a simple feather, the film is a call to action to implement energy solutions that work with nature.
