A Life on the Line (2014)

'A Life on the Line' is an exploratory film; it follows a weekend on a trap line with my father in May, 2014. He explains, how trappers have a deep connection to the wild and how just being in the woods is often the greatest reward for those who continue in this traditional way of life. The film does not wish to glamorize the harvesting of animals, it merely aims to shed some light on a lifestyle that many once thrived on and, that for all intents and purposes created the country of Canada. Set in Manitoba's Duck Mountain Provincial Forest, 'A Life on the Line' also show cases the beautiful boreal forest through breathtaking cinematography.
