Angry Inuk

The first documentary in the history of film, Robert Flaherty’s Nanook of the North, recorded the everyday reality of an Inouit family. Almost a century later, an indegenous director returns to her own roots and to the origins of documentary film and joins her fellow Inuit activists as they present themselves to the world as a modern people in dire need of a sustainable economy. Now, a new generation of Inuit, armed with social media and their own sense of humor, are challenging the groups that fight seal hunting. As they raise their voices to defend their tradition, the camera becomes their weapon and survival too
