​Trade Secret is a powerful documentary that uncovers the little-known and controversial global commercial trade in polar bear skins — exploring how conservation, politics, and commercial interests intersect behind closed doors.

Filmed over six years across nine countries, the film follows three central figures on a mission to reveal truths about wildlife trade that few have seen.

The film features:

• Dr. Adam Cruise – investigative environmental journalist, author, and founder of Endangered Wildlife Investigations. Cruise has spent over two decades exposing the forces driving the global wildlife trade and is widely recognised for his impactful investigations.
• Ole J. Liodden – Norwegian wildlife photographer, author, expedition leader and founder of the Polar Bears & Humans project. Liodden’s work has reshaped conversations around polar bear conservation and the ethics of commercial wildlife trade.

Together with wildlife advocate Iris Ho, their journey forms the core narrative of Trade Secret.
