Green Report: Green Movies

By Max Jacobs

Last summer, Al Gore's movie "An inconvenient truth" got everyone talking about global warming.

Now, another movie--that chronicles the life of a polar bear and a walrus-- is continuing the conversation of climate change.

We've put the emotional face on climate change. We're not throwing in a lot of statistics at you, we're not lecturing or teaching you. We're moving you.

To capture Arctic Tale, Adam Ravetch and his wife filmed for ten years in the bitter cold.

It creates an intimacy, it really puts the audience right next to the animals.

The movie follows seela, a baby walrus, and nanu a baby polar bear as they adapt to their ever-changing environment.

How were you able to get those exact moments?

Scientists told us, you know, when we asked where a new born walrus are born, they said, oh, it happens in a three month range. And then we went to the inuit and we asked them, and they narrowed that down.

So while you were filming, did you fell the temperature change?

Definitely noticed a warming.

And it's really a bigger metaphor of what we have to do as humans. I think we have choices everyday that we can do in our lives and we really have to start changing the way we live as the Earth starts to warm.

Five percent of the movies profits will be donated to wildlife groups. It opened nationwide earlier last month.
