Life is way more interesting when we celebrate integrity and the diversity of creation.

Why are films like this given so much attention when actual films of merit are thrown to the wayside?

Such misrepresentation is both rude and a form of lying. MOMI should have nothing to do with either.

It is a harmful movie and as a native of the north, I take strong offense to the content. It is not right to exploit people at their lowest, even of its just sharing what someone else put on YouTube. Don't we condemn this kind of behaviour with our school children and call it bullying? there are too many dangers to a single story, such as this. And there are enough misguided and uneducated ideas of Who Inuit are, we do not need to be misrepresented in this way. It's disgusting that anyone would support this film. I am an artist and performer, there is nothing artistic about this garbage.
