"When we decided to have the series [Molly of Denali] highlight Alaska Native culture, we knew that this was not our story to tell. The production team at GBH reached out to members of the Alaska Native community who graciously agreed to be our collaborators to ensure that we were accurately portraying that culture."

"A highlight for me in working on this special was the chance to learn more about Molly’s Gwich’in heritage both in terms of the new relatives she meets and her encounter with parts of the culture that are uniquely special, like the porcupine caribou herd. It was especially exciting to see the herd come to life through Atomic’s incredible animation."
