Showcases a year in the life of a bear family as two impressionable young cubs are taught life's most important lessons. Set against a majestic Alaskan backdrop teeming with life, their journey begins as winter comes to an end and the bears emerge from hibernation to face the bitter cold. The world outside is exciting-but risky-as the cubs' playful descent down the mountain carries with it a looming threat of avalanches.

"Braving Alaska" follows four families as they leave civilization to live as modern day pioneers in the Alaskan wilderness. Three additional films feature footage of places in Alaska rarely touched by humans.
