Synopsis
In the 1970s, Pierre Berton and his family recreated the trip down the Yukon made by his father, Francis George Berton, in 1898. This compelling story of the later journey is a valentine from son to father, a magical tale of a family adrift, and a poetic exploration of the regionâ s rich history. In experiencing this great wilderness, Berton and his family discover their deep connection to nature — and each other.
