Atanajurat (The Fast Runner)

Part documentary, part mythology, all real! A movie about Inuits by Inuits… so you know it’s at least their version of the truth (not some over-glamorized version told by some well-wishing out-lander). It’s just amazing to see people exist & thrive in this environment. More than once, I thought to myself, “these people are nuts!”… and that was in reaction to their every day reality. Possibly the most impressive thing about this movie is just how well it was made.  It’s reassuring to know that these people, who are about as far as possible from any motion picture industry, could pull-off such an amazing film.
