Wolverine: One Tough Mother

Few animals awake more mystic and fear merely by mentioning their name… Wolverine. Glamourised for its courage by Hollywood, villainised by ancestral folktales, deemed a lone killer confined to the far north. But what is the truth behind these myths?

We meet Freya, a lone wolverine living in No Man’s Land, a track of barren wilderness between Russia and Finland. To survive here, she needs to be clever. And it’s not just her that needs to survive: in her winter den, there are two newborn cubs. It’s now up to Freya to teach her two cubs how to become wolverines.

Wolverine – One tough Mother opens the door to this little-known creature. For the first time, viewers will get a unique insight into these misunderstood animals. Working with scientists, our cameras locate a den and film never-before-seen behaviour of mother and cub interaction. And we follow the cubs as they grow and are taught how to survive in No Man’s Land.
