One Square Mile - Barrow, Alaska (trailer)

[@billyfish8787]

Shame about the negative comments, just down to pure ignorance, it's a culture and a way of life a lot of people would like to experience, me included, I prefer to learn about people and cultures and not just laze around beaches and cheap tourist trinkets.

[@vivs005]

That is fascinating. Such a beautiful place.

[@theolewell7535]

nice vid. I like the vibe. It's beautiful.

[@fraildollie4185]

My dad is in this

[@ScrewTime]

Who is your daddy and what does he do?

[@boohickman2470]

I hope god let's me get to live there one day soon....I'd be in HEAVEN

[@Jindy2]

I'm guessing what keeps people there must be the strong sense of community. It must be a hard life in many ways, though.

[@ic4192]

Likely the money, too. Barrow has lots of money due to oil. But yes, the community is important.

[@saurabhshah6433]

There is community everywhere in the world. People are different but more than that people are the same.

[@karliann1]

When I win the lottery Im moving here. Looks beautiful

[@geeiadexter]

Yep, I lived there for 10 years!

[@geeiawildman2217]

@Taylor Andre yep

[@markcarey8426]

Oh man I couldn't cope with that. I'd go insane fantasising about tropical islands.

[@esrabaykalaydogan1156]

My dream is to visit Barrow one day too . . .

[@jordanlenihan988]

7 years later: do you still want to visit?

[@esrabaykalaydogan1156]

Jordan Lenihan Of course !

[@suryanugraha2436]

​@@esrabaykalaydogan1156have you visited it?

[@gratefullydeadful]

great documentary.

[@DonMikimax]

Too damn cold.

[@misatchi]

@pillarsofserpents Barrow has special battery hook-ups for cars in parking spots. They have to or yes, you're right, they would freeze up. There is a video somewhere here on youtube that shows some of the cars hooked up to them. ;)

[@Kay2be2mr]

I don't like to go out that much. I'm a home body. But I feel like I would get a real bad case of claustrophobia in a place that small, where it's always winter and where during parts of the year you don't see the sun for months. I think I'd panic.

[@hugostiglitz4215]

Kay2be2mr it's all in the mind

[@matijabauer2802]

One day, I wish I live there to the end of my life. :)

[@mzcarolk]

I live in Barrow alaska I'm inupaq

[@mzcarolk]

I'm not lying unalaq west wind

[@eddabed2]

Does the guy at 1.03 know his burger is on fire?

[@eeng-so7co]

My dream vacation !!

[@SoapinTrucker]

You need help! LOL

[@robertkelley6399]

They call the police to ask what time or day it is? What, like they don't have calendars or clocks there?

[@matthewviramontes3131]

@Gary Miller yea, but if the cold and the dark are making you lose your marbles, then maybe the cop is losing his marbles too, and so neither of you knows what time or day it really is. Plus, why not just ask Google?

[@garimaprashar6265]

I’d panic so bad if I don’t see the sun for that long. Tbh I’m glad I live in California 😩

[@fghjghjjjy8994]

Garima Prashar i live in cali also , but i rather be in alaska were its beautiful and you don't have to see any black people.

[@richardmyhan8755]

Garima Prashar You would definitely be a hot item up there.

[@tritonmole]

I live in northern europe and during winter we only get 7 to 8 hours of sunlight. But during summer we get almost 18 hours of light. And i love it, its like every month is diffferent.

[@bobholmes65]

tritonmole We have the same amount of sun as you do in most of the United States.

[@valentin.32]

I so want to move there, but dont know how

[@rafakowalewski6238]

I'll be there in 3 days. My dream will come true :)

[@Abnarly]

dingus khan Probably doesn't have internet

[@hansenvspredator7812]

Probably killed himself

[@ScrewTime]

@@hansenvspredator7812 WTF?!

[@JewCrew420]

I like this vid 👌

[@MyPersonalVendetta]

A lot to offer? Like what? Snow, gale force winds and 60+ days of darkness?

[@mtadams2009]

+MyPersonalVendetta I was thinking the same thing. I could handle the cold but I would need some trees and Mt. to ski and hike, just to flat and cold.

[@hugostiglitz4215]

MyPersonalVendetta some people like that lifestyle, they don't like being around too many people.

[@lisabaltzer3163]

MyPersonalVendetta No thank you.

[@mrwdpkr5851]

and vampires

[@keanmolinyawe]

Maybe she found peace in that town and peace is everything

[@MasterAsra]

I believe it's better than most places, but the cost of living is also really expensive, particularly for things that need to be shipped there.

[@MonicaGalang]

One day...

[@pillarsofserpents]

@hdeeplive - you must have special cars. or engine warmers? lol. cuz my Ford Focus has a little trouble starting in 10 degree Michigan weather.

[@aaronlarr6484]

after high school i wanna move up there.

[@wynternight777]

Yep. Quite good.

[@haapai02]

Wow! I can’t believe that Tongan families moved to Barrow.

[@Honeyfaced1]

haapai02 These aren’t Tongan people. They are Inupiat people. They are native to the Arctic Circle.

[@ssalvatore4502]

gotta be tough!!

[@Malgrange54]

love this song ^^ what's name please?

[@wynternight777]

No. They filmed in New Zealand.

[@redmille1000]

Was it named after Barrow in Furness? The similarities are uncanny!

[@TheNorthRaven]

My dream is to visit Barrow one day and stay in the Top of the world Hotel. I am from Croatia, so its a long shot, but still. One day. :)

[@dfelixrx7]

It’s so cold that even the farts are frozen

[@pillarsofserpents]

how do those cars even start? it's like -30 in the winter!

[@murphyjdm]

Do they have any golf courses there?

[@stankormy5717]

Y’all need a Starbucks there!

[@kylewoolard4512]

Did anyone else think the movie was starting out with a Radiohead song? Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box?

[@martharousse5707]

I am just amazed at the people think that it is really like I remember being abused and bullied as a kid up there fantasy world no place is perfect

[@Angelhaven95]

I like summer too much, pool side and sun. I could never live there

[@Malgrange54]

waht's name song at 1'10 please ??

[@WanderlustWonderscape]

I had a burger in the northernmost cafe in the 80's. It wasn't very good.

[@jondstewart]

2:00, hey it’s Fran Tate, owner of Pepe’s! Lovely lady and fine human being!

[@Al-wj4mi]

[@tgshark1]

did they film 30 days of night here?

[@Zachary344]

You waited 10 years for an answer, but yes

[@micaeljimenez629]

Wow

[@alaskavand1043]

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR EVERYONE: Since I am writing an original story that I plan to get published, and sell copies of, I need some help from say, a general audience. I am currently in the process of writing a story called THE YELLOW STARS. It takes place in northern Alaska. I have added mountains to the story, created a town, a major river, another town, and a large wooded area that aren't real places in Alaska AT ALL. After the said characters are there, at some point they are forced to dwell in another town for awhile. Which I have chosen to be Barrow, Alaska. I then take advantage of the 30 days of night. This is a sci-fi and possibly horror story. There are monsters in it. (Which, yes, I also created. They aren't Zombies, Vampires, Werewolves, or anything like that) I would like to know if the audience would tell me a few thing. FIRST: Does any of this sound cliche'? SECOND: Has anyone done this before? THIRD: Does it matter to you, whether or not I use a real town? AND FINALLY FOURTH: Would you read it?

[@MattyTheBastard]

Did you end up writing this?

[@savannahsputnik1663]

Anna Marie I’d read it! I hope you wrote it!!!!

[@emmanavarre4049]

Suena interesante!!

[@RolandLowhorn]

Life good

[@trudidolder6122]

are dogs kept outside? I truly hope not.

[@arcooke]

The people who made this put the full episode on Vimeo if anyone wants to watch it. vimeo.com/51110969

[@mtadams2009]

+arcooke Thanks, I enjoyed the full episode.

[@Kay2be2mr]

Thank you! I Just watched it. Interesting place. Would not want to live there though.

[@Jindy2]

Thanks! It was well worth watching.

[@spankyspankinheim3739]

People call the police to ask what time or day it is because they are so drunk - while a damp county natives do as they please

[@iam_fetiboi7175]

Theres tongans up there damn stay safe toks

[@wynternight777]

Top of the World almost burned down a few weeks ago. Sadly Pepe's Did burn down. :(

[@vevedehavilland4743]

The only way I could live there is in a padded cell

[@v3n0mDr0p]

muktuk

[@wynternight777]

Umm...no.

[@robertkelley6399]

What the fuck does that town have to offer?

[@carlostorres8771]

are you from there?

[@MJFisher76]

High pay and a high cost of living. Great sense of community, if the locals would accept you. Isolation I suppose as well

[@billypoppins9138]

Need a woman for all those dark lonely days and nights...

[@RepublicanJesusthe2nd]

Fuck that.

[@andrewr7982]

Are homosexual activities common there?

[@barney547]

Yup 👍🏻

[@Davidz1705]

gay

[@alaskavand1043]

Did they film 30 days of night here?

[@Kay2be2mr]

I don't think they actually traveled there but yes the setting was based on that town. Which makes it even creepier to think of living there during the months when the sun doesn't come out.
