Alaska is at the same time the largest state of the USA, area-wise, and
the most sparsely populated state. It's also the state with the highest
per capita number of missing persons, and the state with the most savage
local Bigfoot legends. So can the high number of persons gone missing in
any way be related to Bigfoot, to whom the vast unpopulated areas of the
state should be the perfect habitat. The surprising answer this
documentary comes up with is, no! Outside the urban areas, Alaska is
full of natural predators, including all sorts of bears and wolves,
animals that are known to on occasion attack and kill people. Furthermore
off the beaten track nature provides all sorts of natural death traps,
plus snow storms and sudden changes in weather contribute to making Alaska
a rather hostile state for humans. That said, at least in theory it would
be ideal Bigfoot hunting ground, and the area sure has its own Bigfoot
stories and plenty of them, and filmmaker Seth Breedlove has made it his
mission to track down some of them, reaching from eye witness testimony to
conspiracy theories involving the gouvernment, UFOs and a dark pyramid,
and he even goes on a(n albeit unsuccessful) Bigfoot stake-out. In
yet another chapter to cover all aspects of Bigfoot
lore, filmmaker Seth Breedlove once more shows his qualities as a
documentarian, inasmuch as he's not deterred when his theory - that
Bigfoot is responsible for all these missing persons cases - is proven
wrong, and he freely admits he didn't find a "smoking gun". But
what he did find are yet more fascinating stories, almost certainly not
all true, to pin down the oral history that makes the legend. All this is
combined by beautiful camerawork that makes the beauty, the vastness, but
also the harshness of Alaska palpable. And all of this combined results in
a rather fascinating movie.
