Miriam Darlington sets out to tell a new story. Her fieldwork begins with wild encounters in the British Isles and takes her to the frosted borders of the Arctic.

In her watching and deep listening to the natural world, she cleaves myth from reality and will change the way you think of this magnificent creature.
