made a click with my three-dollar
plastic Argus camera,
I was like, "wow, that's amazing."
Then I got a picture back a week later.
You take it to the drugstore... black
and white film, it's a process,
they come back with a little print,
and magic.
I shot the fox.
I captured, there's my trophy.
There's my bragging point.
I don't have a fox skin,
I have a photograph.
This is even better.
I can put it on the wall
and the fox is still alive.
It didn't take long.
From that moment on,
it was a different story.
And I'm still doing the same thing.
I'm still a hunter.
I'm... I'm still tricking
animals, sneaking up on them.
Jim had met Will Steger in the 80's,
and the two embarked on a well-known
expedition to the north pole.
and became fascinated with an idea
of a similar mission to the arctic.
And the unique opportunity to document,
and live with wolves in the wild.
Less than 500 Miles from the north pole
lies Canada's most distant frontier,
Ellesmere island.
Only someone with a passion for wolves
into this desolate land.
One such person is
photographer Jim Brandenburg.
Wolves have always
been a favorite animal of mine,
and I suppose one of the reasons
they're my favorite animal
is because they're so intelligent.
That intelligence makes it, uh...
nearly impossible to film them
in a more conventional place,
say in the forested areas.
And for some reason these arctic wolves
have... have got a quality about them
where they tolerated us very well,
and it became clear
that it would make a wonderful story.
In 1986, Jim's white wolf premiered
at the Sundance film festival and
won numerous prestigious awards.
White wolf also became
a best-selling book,
and was the cover story
for the national geographic magazine.
When I was involved in that,
I felt this is the
highlight of my career,
except one thing maybe.
popped down on my property
and said, "Jim, come with us
on our spaceship,
we're gonna go off to another planet."
I'm... I'm kidding.
It sounds funny,
this is my... this is a
true conception I thought,
when I was in the middle of
the white wolf experience,
I thought, I will never equal this,
and I was right.
Our tent, in research,
was within a five-minute walk
of the den.
Lived right with them, as a family.
We had problems with the white wolves
coming stealing
our stuff out of the tent.
So, it's very different than here,
To see a wolf here, back
in those days, was rare.
