Ever hear that lemmings commit mass suicide to alleviate overpopulation? Well, you’re not alone. Only it’s not true. White Wilderness (1958) was a Disney nature film meant to showcase the behavior and beauty of lemmings.
Filmed in Canada, it features crafty edits and angles to manipulate the viewer into believing that this is a huge natural lemmings migration. The film shows lemmings supposedly jumping off a cliff and into water down below, the narrator declaring “They’ve become victims of an obsession – a one-track thought: Move on! Move on!”. The final shot of the film shows the lake crowded with dying lemmings. Only it wasn’t suicide – they were pushed.
