Angry Inuk
Streaming video - 2016
Seal meat is a staple food for Inuit, and many of the pelts are sold to offset the extraordinary cost of hunting. Inuit are spread across extensive lands and waters, and their tiny population is faced with a disproportionate responsibility for protecting the environment.. This documentary interweaves the reality of Inuit life with the story of their challenge to both the anti-sealing industry and those nations that mine resources on Inuit lands while simultaneously destroying the main sustainable economy available to the people who live there.. Winner of a Top 20 Audience Favorites Award and the Canadian Documentary Promotion Award at Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival.. "A dignified response to those who oppose seal ...hunting but willfully ignore the fact that international bans on seal products severely inhibit the subsistence hunting vital to Arctic communities." - Brad Wheeler, Globe and Mail
