Historic clash between Inuit Shamanism and Christianity in 1920's Baffin Island arctic community. Opening Night film, 2006 Toronto International Film Festival; Best Film, Alba (Italy) International FF; selection New York FF.
Iglulik, 1922-23. Real people, actual events.
The great shaman, Avva, and his family are living on the land some distance from Iglulik, his home community that lately has taken up the teachings of Christian missionaries.
Explorer/adventurer Knud Rasmussen pays Avva a visit, accompanied by two fellow Danes: trader Peter Freuchen and anthropologist Therkel Mathiassen.
Rasmussen hears and records Avva’s life story and that of his wife Orulu.
Their son, Natar, impulsively agrees to guide Freuchen and Mathiassen north to Iglulik.
After a celebration, Rasmussen leaves to head west while Avva, facing strong headwinds, sets out with his family and guests en route for home.
His beautiful daughter, Apak, has troubling dreams about the road ahead.

Second best indigenous American movie after Atanarjuat.I would even say it was better and more subtle, specially the scenes with the forbidden meat comunion. Evangelism is the second most hazardous calamity after industrialism and the enviromental destruction that comes with it!

The file is too big for download. Is there an iPod version available?
Thank you for making this beautiful film available on your website. I am 26 year old Polish women. I would probably never be able to see your film otherwise. I am deeply moved. Thank you for creating this evidence of magic and powerful traditions. It also confirms for me that all the tribes, clans, nations and families have a common denominator in times when we use to live in harmony with nature and spirits. Thank you for your efforts. I am looking forward to see your next project.
Thanks for making this available. It was very sad for me to watch. I am a 62 y/o Inupiak from Unalakleet, Alaska, and a survivor of the Bureau of Indian Affairs and missionaries. Native employees are still not treated as well as other ethnicities in the County of Los Angeles.
Cool
