Filmmaker Frederick Kroetsch and his 85-year-old dad revisit Arctic

Ten years ago, Frederick Kroetsch opened a dusty ammunition case in his parents’ basement. What he found inside — reels of old 8-mm film — would take him on a journey of a lifetime with his 85-year-old father.
“I grew up hearing all these stories about the High Arctic,” Kroetsch says. “When I saw this film I was like, ‘Wow! My dad’s stories they’re … they’re not bulls–t!’ ”
