We Belong To It

About This Movie

We Belong To It is a visually striking exploration of the Boreal forest, capturing the essence of the landscape with an intimate lens. Ray Mears, with his deep appreciation for nature, guides viewers through Wabakimi Provincial Park, showcasing his bushcraft skills. The film’s pacing is reflective, allowing moments of silence to resonate as much as Mears’s insightful musings on survival and connection to the wild. It’s not just about the scenery; it’s about the quiet philosophy of living in harmony with nature, which, for me, makes it stand out amidst other nature documentaries. The practical effects are subtle but effective, and Mears’s performance feels genuine, creating an atmosphere that is both calming and thought-provoking.

This film appears to have limited distribution, which makes it rather elusive for collectors. Its unique blend of nature documentary and personal narrative adds a layer of depth that isn't often found in similar titles. As such, interest in acquiring a copy seems to be growing among niche collectors who appreciate more contemplative takes on outdoor adventures. If you come across a print, it might be worth snagging, especially for those who admire Ray Mears and his work.
