French documentary director Nicolas Vanier spent a year with Canadian trapper Norman Winther and his wife Nebraska out in the Yukon wilderness. He’s The Last Trapper in this magnificent country in North America.
His Film The Last Trapper is part documentary and partly constructed narrative. The real stuff is so real that the contrived is noticeable and the film’s take on the role of man keeping nature in balance is a bit insistent.
This film is well worth the watch if you are a true survivalist and a man of the land.
