Among Alaska’s beautiful epic vistas and seemingly endless acres of wilderness lurks a dark secret. The secret, known by locals and hearty adventurers alike, revolves around the nearly constant disappearances that take place across “the land of the midnight sun.”
While these disappearances seem to have often-mundane explanations, avalanches, constantly-changing terrain, and local wildlife, such as Alaska’s abundant bear population, are all common causes for missing people. But could something else be behind them? That’s the question explored in Small Town Monsters‘ new documentary On the Trail of Bigfoot: Land of the Missing, the sequel to this year’s documentary Last Frontier.
Seth Breedlove and his team are exploring another potential cause for those who have gone missing. A cause whispered about amongst the locals. A cause talked about in the oral traditions of the First Nations people who inhabited the region long before white settlers arrived. The cause, they say, is a terrifying, blood-thirsty Sasquatch. Or maybe it’s the ice giants said to inhabit the upper regions of the 49th state’s numerous mountains. Or perhaps it’s the “Devil monkeys” said to roam the lowlands. UFOs, phantom big cats, and more are often said to be responsible, as well.
On the Trail of Bigfoot: Land of the Missing debuts on major streaming platforms on August 22, 2023, from 1091 Pictures, including iTunes, Amazon Prime Video, Vudu, and FandangoNOW. A Blu-ray edition will be available exclusively from the Small Town Monsters shop.
