A movie starring a tiny paper polar bear may help northern children avoid the dangers of gasoline fume addiction.
The National Film Board's animated movie, The Sniffing Bear, is aimed at helping northern children avoid the dangers of inhaling gasoline fumes, said the film's creator Co Hoedeman.
"The Inuit, along with the First Nations, wanted to send a message to the children of the north that sniffing gasoline is hazardous to their health," he said.
