In _ this authentically documented drama, seven men pit themselves against the wilderness of northern British Columbia (A prime Sasquatch habitation area) to prove once and for all this mysterious subhuman creature still haunts the area where this film was produced. After many near-mishaps, Executive producer Ron Olson came up with an exciting, fact-filled drama that responsibly tells the story of the legendary Sasquatch. The movie captures much of the natural beauty in the Pacific Northwest, and the wildlife that fills its forests, and it is because of the alert professionalism of its entire crew that the Sasquatch story is clearly painted on a majestic natural canvas.
