The Last Herd

Released May 6th 2014

A film by Harold Arsenault

Produced by Harold Arsenault, Paul Cadieux and Maryse Rouillard

Isolated in the remote mountains of the Gaspé National Park, a last herd of caribou resists defiantly against human encroachment. When the first European settlers arrived on the East Coast of North America in 1534, caribou numbered in the tens of thousands. Today scarcely 100 remain. They are the last survivors.

This documentary tells of their plight and precarious tipping point on which they now balance.
