Heading north to track the Canadian Rangers

Watchers of the North (6 x 30 min.) tells the story of Canada's least known military branch – the men and women who keep watch over the North, Canada's largest expanse of land. The series follows the on duty work and off duty lives of Canadian Rangers, reservists in remote coastal communities. Often the first on site when hunters get lost in extreme conditions or a plane goes down in the wilderness, the Rangers are also passing on vanishing Inuit and First Nation traditions to younger Rangers.
