Geela Kumarluk, Inuk social worker and Inukjuak native opens up a line of dialogue with members of her community about the trauma experienced by her people at the hands of the Canadian government and, most importantly, about how to heal from it. The formal and informal interviews with the director and with Geela present a simultaneously intimate and outward-looking perspective of the village and the Inuit. As community members open up, winter morphs into spring, and the village booms with warmer weather activity, just as they prepare for a celebration of Inuit traditions that comes exactly one hundred years after the release of Flaherty’s film about Inuit in the region; “Nanoq of the North”.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
