The Weight of the Crown

The Weight of the Crown

Carbon Score: 8.5

On January 6, 2020, Waseca Police Officer Arik Matson was shot in the head while responding to a call — and survived. The Weight of the Crown is a raw and emotional documentary that follows Arik’s incredible journey of recovery, resilience, and rediscovery of purpose. At the heart of this story is his mission to hunt the elusive King Eider — a rare and difficult sea duck found in the remote Alaskan waters. For Arik, this was more than a hunt. It was a test of will, grit, and healing. Produced by Hometown Hero Outdoors and Rogue Productions, this film is a tribute to the strength behind the badge and the human spirit that refuses to quit.
