Ryan Reynolds to narrate the upcoming documentary Great Bear Rainforrest

Byron Horner, Executive Producer and President of Spirit Bear Entertainment and distributor MacGillivray Freeman Films announced today that Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds has signed on to narrate Great Bear Rainforest set in one of the planet’s most exquisite and secluded wildernesses.

Hidden from the outside world, Canada’s Great Bear Rainforest is home to an immense array of wildlife, including the fabled all-white spirit bear—the rarest bear on earth—and the indigenous First Nations, who have provided stewardship of the forest for millennia. Great Bear Rainforest is the first time this wildlife-rich world will be experienced in IMAX and giant screen theaters when it is released globally on February 15, 2019.

“We can’t think of a more perfect fit for this project than Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds,” says Director Ian McAllister, who is also Canadian and has lived and worked in the Great Bear Rainforest for 30 years. “Ryan is a wonderful representative for the ongoing conservation of this globally significant rainforest which is part of his Canadian heritage and we are thrilled he will be our narrator.”

“I want my children to know there is still an area in this world that has remained wild, and will remain that way, because of the long history of stewardship shown by indigenous people,” says Ryan Reynolds. “I hope this film inspires the younger generation that there is hope for the future if we all work together and take care of our planet’s remaining wild places.”
