A man and a dancing bear roam a desolate Alaska. Three women spread across the country claim what's theirs. A young boy fights his unquenchable thirst. Traversing a landscape of unpredictable weather, crumbling infrastructure, and uncertain survival, The Historical Range of Ursus Americanus explores what remains after the climate has changed.

Featuring

Mehdi Abbas, Briana Archer, Ana Beliakova, Sunny Choi, Jeff Cima, Michaela Farrell, Adam Foldes, Andrea Garcia, Ali Goss, Heather Holmes, CJ Nolan, and Ayesha Saleh.
