Arctic Son

NEW DOCS

Stanley, a hard-drinking and aimless First Nation young man in Washington State, visits his estranged father, who now lives in Old Crow, a Yukon Territory town of 300 people 80 miles inside the Arctic Circle. Stanley Senior is a recovering alcoholic himself, yet the two men couldn’t have more different interests or approaches to life. Andrew Walton has crafted a beautiful, engaging, and intimate documentary about a particular relationship developing within an equally particular landscape. Music consultant Béla Fleck provides a haunting score to complement the gorgeous cinematography.  AT
