Angry Inuk

2016 · 85 min

A warm, wry and quietly furious documentary that makes you see a familiar debate from the other side.

Director Alethea Arnaquq-Baril joins her fellow Inuit activists as they challenge outdated perceptions of Inuit and present themselves to the world as a modern people in dire need of a sustainable economy.
