An 
company.
Another movie by a master movie maker.
His documentaries make one feel the hardship his subjects undergo, whether real or not.
A must see along with Nanook.
The visuals are stunning as is the empathy of the director for his subjects.
Would there be a documentary director like him today -- except for Frederick Wiseman whom I am sure was inspired by Flaherty's movies such as Nanook (a picture of a long lost world) and Man of Aran.
I wonder if people are still farming Aran or if they have all left for the big city.
There are other documentaries by the BBC -- See South Georgia Island or the re-creations of Shackleton's unsuccessful trip to the South Pole and you will feel as well as ache along with them.
A true pioneer when making films was difficult at best, impossible at worst. But Flaherty make the impossible real and captured a world that no longer exists.
