This pioneering documentary film depicts the lives of the indigenous Inuit people of Canada's northern Quebec region. Although the production contains some fictional elements, it vividly shows how its resourceful subjects survive in such a harsh climate, revealing how they construct their igloo homes and find food by hunting and fishing. The film also captures the beautiful, if unforgiving, frozen landscape of the Great White North, far removed from conventional civilization.

Interesting as an artefact of its time but it’s a hard watch.

Really wonderful. I see that this isn't a pure "documentary", but it still felt worth watching as an artifact of its time (with all the criticism that implies.) The igloo-building sequence was worth the price of admission alone.

It's such a tender and touching footage... I think it's something everyone should see.

At times I thought this was filmed in the 1960s. It has an astonishing quality to it - the camerawork delivering quite a pristine image of this man and his family as they spend a year eking out a traditional existence. The terrain is inherently hostile. The weather cares little for him, his wife, hi More
