Narrator Sir Michael Redgrave Narrator in deaf sign language Bernard Bragg
' Years and years and years ago, when I was a boy. when there were wolves in Wales, and birds the colour of red-flannel petticoats whisked past the harp-shaped hills, when we sang and wallowed all night and day in caves that smelt like Sunday afternoons in damp fronthouse parlours ... '
DYLAN THOMAS was drawing on his childhood memories in the 1920s when he wrote this evocative account of a child's eye-view of a Welsh family Christmas.

Narrated by Robert Redford

In a straight race a wolf doesn't have a chance against a caribou; the caribou can reach 40 miles an hour, whereas the wolf can only manage 30. Nevertheless, in the Canadian North-west, wolves live mainly on caribou. So how do they manage? The answer lies in tactics: organisation and ambush.

This film follows the epic spring journey of the caribou to their breeding grounds in the north and the wolves that travel with them. It is the story of the delicate balance between predator and prey. And through remarkable aerial photography it shows just how the balance works.
