    Full immersion in a culture about which we knew so little. Amazing!
    Am still stunned by the achievement this film represents. Little dialogue, but the actors make clear the meaning of whatever they are involved in and the silence becomes part of the experience of the North. The environment, moving from below the tree line to Arctic-like conditions, is all-enveloping. Amazing scenery. Remarkable journey, for anyone who undertook moving between the two very different terrains. The clothing worn, in relation to the land and the game available, makes real sense of what it was/is like to live in full harmony with where you are. Differences between the two social systems, the cultural richness of each, was made clear without a lot of description. The narrative, the personal story, was moving and stays with me. I want to say "More, more!" to such film-making that allows us to appreciate the First Nations cultures that have been so denigrated, misunderstood, undermined by the arrival of Europeans.
