Some of this movie was shot on Manitoulin Island at Cater's Bay. Although it is not apparent to the viewers it was very cold during the shoot. Often raining and snowing leaving the actors shivering in their fur costumes. Most of the people on screen have very little acting experience, mostly locals who were rustled up at the last minute. One notable extra is Canadian musician Kevin Closs (who gets killed by Tim Burd).His brother Fionn Closs also had a small part in the documentary playing one of the tribesmen. He can be seen grimacing behind the chief as the exile one of the members of the tribe. Tim Burd, who plays Obi in Saw 2 appears in the movie. Mr. Burd was so inspired by the beauty of Manitoulin that he moved there.
