Writer-producer-director-star Alethea Arnaquq-Baril offers a documentary detailing her position on the right of the Inuit to hunt seals. She shows images of her people with seals, their dependence on sealing both for food and for income. She discusses the anti-sealing movement, how they cancel events when Inuit announce counter-protests and refuse to meet with her.
Without going into the issue for or against, I found it an essay on her position, offered as a movie. It maintains a calm, rational tone throughout, but it remains a well-produced, one-sided piece.
