WITNESS A ONE-OF-A-KIND COMMUNITY WHERE POLAR BEARS AND HUMANS LIVE TOGETHER 

IN A NEW SEASON OF THE SMITHSONIAN CHANNELTM SERIES

POLAR BEAR TOWN

Every fall, approximately 10,000 tourists from around the world descend on the tiny, isolated town of Churchill, Manitoba. Known as “The Polar Bear Capital of the World,” visitors gather in Churchill to see the annual migration of more than 1,000 polar bears that pass through town. Smithsonian Channel’s docu-series POLAR BEAR TOWN follows this extraordinary intersection of humans and the “Lords of the Arctic,” as they collide in unexpected and sometimes dangerous ways.
