Journey into Orthodox Alaska

his video explores one of North America's most fascinating cultural phenomenons: Eastern Christianity amongst Native Alaskans.

It is intended to gather support for the production of a feature-length documentary (currently titled "Arctic Cross") about the Yup'ik people of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. The material was filmed during a fact-finding trip to Alaska in August 2011.

For a detailed description of the proposed film and to help fund this project, please visit "Arctic Cross" on Kickstarter at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/trakovsky/arctic-cross?ref=live
