Filmmakers Alastair Fothergill and Keith Scholey chronicle a year in the lives of an Alaskan brown bear named Sky and her cubs, Scout and Amber. Their saga begins as the bears emerge from hibernation at the end of winter. As time passes, the bear family must work together to find food and stay safe from other predators, especially other bears. Although their world is exciting, it is also risky, and the cubs' survival hinges on family togetherness.

we bear bear. I enjoyed the behind the scenes a lot, it was funny to see how close the cameras were to the animals and how the animals just glance around the camera crew or just walk towards them as the crew is trying to lure them else where.
