Menace (1970)

Sinopsis

Menace ventures deep into the heart of the Arctic-one of the planet's most extreme environments-to capture the timeless struggle of the musk oxen, rugged and majestic survivors of the Ice Age. Filmed over several years, the documentary follows the herd through the brutal rhythm of the seasons, revealing a world of endurance, fragility, and adaptation. Narrated by acclaimed British actress Daisy Head (The Gray House, Shadow and Bone, The Sandman), the film combines breathtaking imagery and an evocative score by Christian Heschl to explore the resilience of life at the top of the world. Directed by Chris Schmid, Menace is both a tribute and a warning-a cinematic reflection on strength, legacy, and the unseen forces shaping our planet's most remote wild places.
