Provideniya is a shadow of a former city on the eastern edge of Siberia in Russia.

In June of 2014, aAron explored the former military port, and captured these images of abandoned factories and decaying memories of a failed Soviet Empire. He found himself in this remote location after he and Director Niobe Thompson had finished shooting the grueling final sequence for the CBC documentary series “The Great Human Odyssey”, and were forced to wait for the skies to clear before their charter plane from Nome, Alaska could bring them home.

The climax sequence of the THE GREAT HUMAN ODYSSEY takes place on the cliffs of a citadel of rock in the Bering Strait. We knew it would be spectacular. We knew the journey would be tough. But we didn't know getting the shot would take two years. Watch this minidoc and see what happened. The three-part series THE GREAT HUMAN ODYSSEY premiered in Canada on CBC-TV in February 2015, and will broadcast on PBS NOVA in the USA and around the world on major broadcasters later this year.
