The award-winning The Yukon Assignment documentary will be available to watch on world-renowned streaming service Netflix from Friday, 10th December 2021. The not-to-be-missed Christmas viewing is a breathtaking exploration of a father and son's 500-mile canoe journey down the Yukon River and will transport viewers into the wild world of the Yukon Territory, one of the earth's last wildernesses.

Produced by Charlie Fripp and directed by British adventurer Chris Lucas, The Yukon Assignment sees Chris and his father Niall Lucas canoe down one of the most remote rivers in Canada. Their adventure is a tale of survival which also addresses the passing of time and the changing relationship between parents and children.

The film inspires viewers to switch off and take in the pristine Yukon wilderness, seize the opportunity to make time for the important relationships in life, embrace the unknown, and step out of their comfort zones.

Director Chris Lucas said: “We are thrilled that The Yukon Assignment will be on Netlfix this festive season. Our goal with the film was to encourage people to dream big and dare to believe. We are so pleased that even more people will be able to witness the incredible journey we had in the Yukon this Christmas and see the impact it had on our precious relationship for themselves.”

Distributor Jonny Tull from Tull Stories said: "I've been delighted to be a small part of The Yukon Assignment journey and am thrilled that audiences on Netflix can now also be inspired by this amazing film.”

About the Yukon:

Situated in the upper Northwest corner of Canada, next to Alaska, the Yukon is Canada's most accessible northern destination. Home to Canada's highest mountain (Mount Logan) and the planet's largest non-polar icefields located in Kluane National Park - a UNESCO World Heritage site. One of North America's most undiscovered destinations; close to 80 percent remains pristine wilderness with 5,000-metre peaks, forested valleys, unspoiled waters and untamed wildlife. Roughly the size of Spain at just over 186,000 square miles, the Yukon is home to more than 160,000 caribou, 70,000 moose, 22,000 mountain sheep, 7,000 grizzly bears, 10,000 black bears and 250 species of birds, with a human population of only 40,000.
