Crossing the Bering Strait

An unlikely American duo join forces with Russian and Korean visionaries in their quest to link the United States and Russia via the Bering Strait.

George Koumal and Joseph Henry

They're the 'Odd Couple' of the new millennium: George Koumal and Joseph Henri. This unlikely American duo are joining forces with an eclectic ensemble of Korean and Russian visionaries in their quest to link Russia and the United States across the Bering Strait. The 85 kilometer tunnel and intercontinental railway would drastically shorten transport times between Asia and North America, connect the continents with fibre-optic cables, power lines and gas pipelines, and provide vital infrastructure for tapping the Arctic's vast natural resources. But the challenges are daunting: ongoing economic and political tensions, 5000 kilometers of missing tracks, and an $85 billion price tag. To name but a few.

Interweaving stunning landscape cinematography with direct cinema techniques and intimate portraiture, CROSSING THE BERING STRAIT, or THE STRAIT GUYS follows 70-year-old retired mining engineer, tunnel expert and president of the Interhemispheric Bering Strait Tunnel & Railroad Group (IBSTRG) Koumal and his jovial sidekick, 76-year-old Alaskan lawyer Henri, as they travel the globe in search of backers for their visionary project.

During their nearly three decades of ceaseless lobbying, George and Joe have won over high-ranking members of the US Congress, Russian Duma, and South Korean government and industry for their multi-national, intercontinental railway. Convinced that 'The Project' - as they affectionately call it - is the solution to the world's economic, environmental and socio-political woes, the dynamic duo vow to continue their efforts until their utopian vision becomes reality.

CROSSING THE BERING STRAIT is not yet another film about mammoth machinery and CGI wizardry, but a character-driven narrative told in intimate and breathtaking imagery about the passion of two older men who, with great virtue and humor, are dedicating the last years of their lives to something far greater than themselves - to the hope of bringing world peace and prosperity to our crisis-shaken world. A compelling look at what drives us human beings to reach beyond ourselves, CROSSING THE BERING STRAIT also addresses the key questions of our time: How are we to sustain life on this planet in the face of runaway consumerism, dwindling natural resources, never-ending socio-political strife, devastating pollution, and a population that prefers to look the other way?

George Koumal, 80, a retired tunnel and mining engineer, passed away Saturday, April 16, 2022 with his family by his side. Born and educated in the Czech Republic, with his late wife, and our beloved mother, Alena, he immigrated to New Jersey in 1969. With two suitcases in hand, he and mom embarked on pursuing the meaning of America through hard work, becoming naturalized citizens, and providing for the next generation. He worked on large-scale mining projects throughout the US, Europe and Africa, also obtaining several mining related US patents. In 1992, he founded and served as chairman of the Interhemispheric Bering Strait Tunnel and Railroad Group (IBSTRG) to explore and advance the possibilities of connecting North America and Asia via a railroad tunnel beneath the Bering Strait.
