Last Call: Why Do People Live In Barrow, Alaska?

Everybody has that movie that they can't ever turn off, and here is mine: If I come across it while channel flipping, I will never not watch The Devil Wears Prada. I don't know what it is: Anne Hathaway's clothes, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci's over-the-top performances, or Meryl Streep's masterpiece of passive-aggressiveness. Probably a combination. I might have seen it 20 or 80 times, and I will undoubtedly watch it 20 or 80 times more. [Gwen Ihnat]

I've long been fascinated with extreme locales, places that are the coldest, hottest, highest, lowest on Earth. Barrow, Alaska sits on the Arctic Ocean and is the northernmost city in the United States—so close to the North Pole, the sun doesn't rise for 65 days in the winter. And yet, 5,000 people call it home. Why? This 10-minute short film explains. [Kevin Pang]
