Borealis

Here's something interesting.

Borealis could have been a Canadian TV series about a barkeep/customs-official/MMA-fighter (yeah, really!) trying to keep things on the level in a small town in the Arctic after the ice has melted and a half-dozen nations are in a mad scramble for resources in the newly opened Arctic Ocean.

A pilot for the series was produced, but at the last minute the network decided not to go ahead with the series, so the pilot is all we have. But it's very watchable even on its own. Have a look.

Here's the link.
