In this full-length documentary husband-and-wife team Karsten Heuer and Leanne Allison (Being Caribou), along with their 2-year old son and dog, retrace the literary footsteps of Canadian writer Farley Mowat. They paddle east from Calgary, towards the Prairies (the geography of Born Naked and Owls in the Family) and then traverse the same paths that Farley took more than 60 years earlier, which became the foundation for Never Cry Wolf and People of the Deer. Their epic 5,000 km journey – trekking, sailing, portaging and paddling - ends in the Maritimes, at Mowat's Nova Scotian summer home.
