Description

Flaherty's landmark silent document of Eskimo life examines the daily lives of a small tribe living on the shores of Canada's Hudson Bay region. Focusing on Inuit hunter Nanook and his family, the film presents real, vivid demonstrations of hunting, building shelter and other aspects of surviving in cold, harsh conditions. Very popular upon its initial release in 1922, the film remains educational and enchanting to this day.
