Borealis is a 2008 documentary film by Frank Wolf that follows two friends on a 3,100 km canoe adventure through the northern Boreal forest of Manitoba and Ontario.

The film looks at the industrial threats to the pristine, vast wilderness north of the 51st parallel from the perspective of those who live in the region.

Wolf, acts as starring role and director in his films, using a humorous approach in order to make the environmentalist and adventurer documentaries appealing to a broader audience.

The makers showed great imagination to get around the limitations of a zero budget, livening up the narrative with interviews, jokes, sight gags, even dance!
