The short documentary “Haulout” follows a scientist on a remote Arctic beach who witnesses the chaotic effects of climate change on Pacific walruses. Watch here.
“This is irreversible, and the beginning of something really scary for this animal,” Evgenia Arbugaeva said, of climate change and its consequences on the Pacific walrus population.
The phenomenon that the Arbugaev siblings witnessed on that visit is the subject of their documentary, “Haulout,” which they filmed in 2020.
During the three-month shoot, the Arbugaevs lived with Chakilev in the beach’s tiny wood hut. They were surrounded by walruses on three occasions, when the animals were so tightly packed that the group was unable to leave the hut at all, each time for about a week. A walrus, on average, weighs about two thousand pounds. In 2019, the first time the siblings experienced it, the walruses surrounded them in the course of a single night, nearly bursting into the hut by dawn.
