The 7th Day Beaver Documentary

Released in 2015, this nature documentary follows a year in the life of a beaver family in the remote wilderness of Alberta, Canada, captured entirely through motion-triggered cameras over seven seasons. The seven-part series documents the relentless work of a mother and father beaver as they repair their lodge after winter ice damage, raise two kits, battle predators including wolves and bears, cope with drought and flood, and reshape an entire valley by building a massive dam and pond system that creates new wetlands supporting moose, otters, and migratory birds, revealing the beaver as one of North America’s most powerful ecosystem engineers.
