“Heartprints in the Snow” is a heartfelt and beautiful documentary on dogsledding that was directed and hosted by Robert Michael and narrated by Janine Gateland. Digital Journal has the scoop.
Particularly impressive was the fact that it was filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic. It adheres to its tagline where “dogsledding is more than just a sport, it’s a bond that lasts a lifetime,” and rightfully so.
This film explores the bonds of nine small-town mushers and their teams both in-person and virtually due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Their testimonies are raw, sincere, and authentic. “The dogs made it worth every minute, and I enjoyed it very very much,” a female musher stated in the documentary.
This documentary will resonate well with fans and viewers since it sheds light on the bond between mushers and the dog teams, which is quite a unique angle. Pet lovers will agree that in many instances dogs are more like family as opposed to just pets.
The Verdict
Overall, “Heartprints in the Snow” is a compelling and insightful documentary that will melt people’s hearts. Robert Michael did a solid job with its direction. Fans of “Eight Below” (starring the late but great Paul Walker) will find this feature warm and relatable. It garners an A rating. Well done.
