Nanook of the North
Description
In what is often considered the very first documentary film, Robert Flaherty recorded the daily life of Nanook the Inuk hunter and his family living in the harsh conditions of Canada's Hudson Bay region. Essential viewing for students of anthropology and film, Nanook of the North raises many questions about truth, storytelling, and culture. Educators, consider pairing this film with Nanook Revisited (FoD #2250), a documentary revisiting Flaherty's legacy in Nanook's life and community.
