The Town With More Polar Bears than People

Churchill, Manitoba is a small Canadian town with problems unlike any other. They've had to adapt to the hundreds of polar bears that wander through every year. Now climate change is threatening polar bear populations and Churchill's way of life. However, it might also bring with it some uncomfortable new economic opportunities.
