Yukon Quest - 1000 Mile International Sled Dog Race

50 min.


Through images and audio captured in the extreme conditions and remotes reaches of the Yukon Quest 1000 mile trail from Fairbanks, Alaska to Whitehorse, Yukon, Marten Berkman takes you on an exciting and poetic journey by dog team in the northern wilderness.


Intimate portraits of the dogs reveal the strength and gentleness of these canine athletes. Interviews with mushers, race officials, veterinarians and fans capture the excitement challenge, and heritage behind this race which travels routes used in the Klondike Gold Rush.


You are about to take an odyssey of adventure, passion and love: the magic of travelling with fourteen dogs through some of the most remote and spectacular terrain in the world.



Music by George Cattapan
