Emmy-award winning Producer/Director Sophie Lanfear first developed a passion for the natural world and the Polar Regions following her childhood in the Norwegian Arctic. She has earned a reputation for having the tenacity and resilience it takes to film in some of the most extreme and remote locations in the world. She produced and directed Frozen Worlds, part of the Netflix Our Planet series: winning an Emmy-award for her work. It is one of the most pressing stories of our time, that people understand the value of the polar regions and realize what the consequences of climate change are doing to them. Since Our Planet, Sophie has spent the last 5 years producing/directing 2 episodes of Life on Our Planet, where her arctic knowledge came to the forefront once more in her season finale: Chapter 8 - Age of Ice and Fire. It was important to end the series with a greater understanding about the 6th mass extinction humans are causing, as well as what the future might hold without humans here.
