With a background in cinematography and special access, Derek captures beautiful images of a place rarely seen by the rest of the World. Dr. Shepson and his team from Purdue University convert a Cessna airplane into a flying laboratory. The plane takes samples around the sea ice and over North America's largest oil drilling operation in Prudhoe Bay. While Derek is there, to his surprise, the local community is the more fascinating subject. Families financially supported by big oil come to grips with the reality that the ice is truly disappearing due to the use of fossil fuels. Written by
