Japanese film crew shooting ice road documentary in Canada's North

A Japanese film crew is in Whati, N.W.T., for the next two weeks to make a documentary about the winter ice road.

The crew, working for the public broadcaster NHK in Tokyo, hopes to film the opening of the ice road and examine how it impacts the small northern community.

Audiences in Japan are fascinated by Northern communities that aren't accessible by roads year round, according to producer Kaz Yagi.

"We wanted kind of to see what kind of lifestyle are they having, what do they do to just... live there," he says. "And hopefully we'll have a good message to convey in the program."

The program's host, Ayumu Nakajima, is a famous actor in Japan. He's never been to Canada before, nor does he speak English.

"And he's never been to the places where there's no restaurants," adds Yagi. "So we all have to live together in a house, cook ourselves. It's going to be a challenging environment for the actor."

Mary Ann Jeremick'ca was on the same plane going to Whati. She says people in the community are excited to have the crew there. 

"There's a lot of things that the federal government or GNWT don't really know about the small communities," she says. "So it's great for another country to know what we go through."

The ice road is expected to open any day this week.
