Back Page text: Quiet Freedom How a Search for a Wild Polar Bear Taught Me Inner Peace The death of a best friend causes Amanda, a successful career woman, to question her existence and the direction her life is taking. She embarks on a journey of discovery. This trip takes her from a life in the comfortable big city, to the desolate Arctic in Greenland, on a search for a one on one encounter with a wild polar bear. It is a search that comes to life with the realization that she has never seen a real polar bear despite owning a large stuffed polar bear for nearly her entire life. Amanda's quest leads her to find a new meaning of freedom as she questions her existence in a cold & white wonderland, filled with mysterious stories and dancing lights. “You’ll never look at a stuffed animal the same way again.”
