Une coproduction Primitive Entertainment et Office national du film du Canada.
Avec Borealis, son nouveau long métrage documentaire, le célèbre réalisateur Kevin McMahon (L’eau, c’est la vie) pénètre dans les profondeurs de la forêt boréale pour y découvrir l’expression chorale de la vie dans les légendaires étendues sauvages du Canada. Comment les arbres arrivent-ils à évoluer, à communiquer, à survivre malgré les forces destructrices du feu, des insectes et de l’intrusion humaine? Borealis offre un portrait immersif des cycles de vie de la forêt, présenté selon la perspective des plantes et des animaux qui y vivent.
