Ice Chunks Create Treacherous River Crossing - Arctic with Bruce Parry, Canada - BBC Two

I have a deep, deep respect for Parry, absolutely love the guy and what he's about. "Tribe" was something else. The "Arctic" series however is very disappointing. Basically boring, just too familiar, nothing we don't already know.

@rjdoddswr450f Er, wasn't aware I was speaking on behalf of the universe.

@bufon63 nothing we don't already know" sounds like u think u know what everybody already knows. i realized afterwards that u meant nothing new as in nothing for the textbooks, so i'll stand corrected. I'll look into 'tribe' tho, so thx for mentioning that show. i watch these types of shows to soak in the landscape of places i'll never travel too. anything else i might learn is a bonus.

@rjdoddswr450f Sir, check out "Bruce Parry, Tribe". It's amazing. Watching capitalist Canadian salmon fishermen, fishing on an industrial scale, exploiting, butchering and making vast profits from mother earth, is nothing I don't already know. Watching Eskimos using guns and traveling on snow buggies is likewise depressing. Parry, a hero of mine in fact, knows this and is just reporting on the plight of indigenous peoples. The problem is, is that we know all this.
