Beavers: The biggest dam movie you ever saw!
Set against the ruggedly stunning backdrop of the Canadian Rockies, Beavers follows a family as they grow, play, and transform the world around them. The film begins with two beavers, setting off together to build a new home. Overcoming adversity and showing enormous perseverance, the pair build a lodge, raise a family, and transform their habitat in astonishing ways.
Go on a Rocky Mountain adventure as you build and swim with these shy, hardworking creatures and discover their remarkable contributions to the natural world.
