Kamchatka: A Winter in the Land of the Evens | FULL DOCUMENTARY | EPISODE 1

Filmmaker Mike Magidson, a native Californian living in Paris, and French anthropologist Nastassja Martin have just landed in Petropavlovsk, the capital of Kamchatka. Over recent years, Nastassja has developed close ties with an Even family, former reindeer herders, and today, she is back to introduce her baby daughter to them. From the capital, they set off on a 700km trip through majestic inhospitable landscapes at -30°, crossing a mining and military zone and completing the last stretch on snowmobiles. Finally, they arrive in Tvaian, a hunting camp cut off from all means of communication. Daria and her family live there in tune with their traditions and in a spiritual relationship with their environment.
