These are the most important winter roads, the roads that vanish in summertime, the roads to solitude, the roads that connect remote villages across the frozen tundra and that lead all to the northern tip of the country at the Arctic Ocean. These are Canada's Ice Roads, a vital and unique piece of the country's infrastructure. This film takes viewers into the heart of the frozen lands, into the lives of the workers who build and maintain the vast network of ice roads, to the truckers who rely on them, to the locals whose traditions and ways of life are made possible by these frozen roadways, an incredible feat of manpower and will.
