First We Eat

In this documentary, a family of five embarks on an unconventional journey, leaving behind modern conveniences and adopting a primitive lifestyle in the Arctic wilderness for a full year, forcing them to adapt to new daily routines and food sources.

In the far North of Canada, a family of five embarks on a year-long experiment to survive solely on food hunted, fished, gathered, grown, and raised locally in Dawson City, Yukon. The family, including three skeptical teenagers and a reluctant husband, must adapt to a diet without salt, caffeine, and sugar, all while enduring -40 temperatures. As they learn to thrive in this new environment, the story unfolds as a heartwarming celebration of community and the abundance of food that can be found even in the most remote of places.
