Echoes of the Ice, presented in the immersive and candid style of Anthony Bourdain, follows Crystal Martin, an Inuk woman from Sanirajak, Nunavut, as she returns to Iqaluit to reconnect with her cultural roots through traditional Inuit hunting practices. Guided by her cousin Pakak, Crystal embarks on a treacherous journey to the floe edge, where the uncertainty of the thinning ice and shifting animal patterns due to climate change casts doubt on their hunt.

In true Bourdain fashion, the film dives deep into Iqaluit's nightlife and modern businesses, exploring how the changing climate impacts everything from traditional practices to contemporary livelihoods. From the challenges faced by local entrepreneurs at NuBrew, a brewery affected by environmental shifts, to the adaptation of the community's social scene, Echoes of the Ice captures the raw and honest reality of life in the Arctic, where culture, commerce, and climate collide.
