Frozen Worlds with Sophie Lanfear A Netflix Original Documentary Series

Description

The unforgiving frontier of climate change. The calving of a gigantic iceberg or the risks of fossil fuel exploration in the arctic are never far from our news screens. Yet what does it mean for those that live there? Join us as we follow polar bears, walruses, seals, and penguins as they find their icy Edens in peril. Brought to you by the speakers, adventurers and explorers that have joined the tradition of the polar explorer and returned to tell us why this frozen frontier is vital for our planet.

Sophie Lanfear

Emmy Award-winning Producer/Director Sophie Lanfear first developed a passion for the natural world and the Polar Regions following her childhood in the Norwegian Arctic. She has earned a reputation for having the tenacity and resilience it takes to film in some of the most extreme and remote locations in the world. She produced and directed Frozen Worlds, part of the Netflix Our Planet series, winning an Emmy Award for her work. It is one of the most pressing stories of our time, that people understand the value of the polar regions and realize what the consequences of climate change are doing to them. Since Our Planet, Sophie has spent the last 5 years producing/directing two episodes of Life on Our Planet, where her arctic knowledge came to the fore once more in her season finale: Chapter 8 - Age of Ice and Fire.
