The Winter Bear is a play that tells the story of an Alaska Native teenager who rises above the traumas of his past to become a leader with the help of mentor Sidney Huntington. In September 2014, The Winter Bear Project traveled to six Alaskan villages along the Yukon and Koyukuk rivers to deliver their message of hope. In this five-minute preview of the 30-minute documentary, residents from Ruby, Nulato, and Kaltag share their thoughts on the play's impact.
