About the Activity
Looking for one of the most unique things to do in Sitka? Join Emmy Award–winning filmmaker Ben Hamilton for a big-screen wildlife experience unlike anything else in town.

Before the film, meet Ben at the Sitka Wonders booth and explore a collection of photo prints and local artwork. After the screening, stick around for a brief Q&A to learn about the filming process or get tips for exploring Sitka’s hidden gems. Perfectly timed for cruise visitors and downtown explorers, this all-weather experience fits easily between tours, lunch, or shopping — and offers a deeper connection to Sitka through the eyes of someone who’s spent a lifetime capturing its hidden beauty.45 minutes

Filmed over a decade, entirely in Sitka, the film captures rare wildlife moments most visitors—and even locals—never see. It’s more than a nature documentary; it’s a deeper look at how this wild place works.
