Remove "Of the North" from Museum of the Moving Image film festival & Other Film Festivals

There is so much more to be told about Inuit! How genius they are. If you're going to show one side, you should show other sides. Lots of qallunaat are drunks and it's not specific to one culture. All races are multifaceted.

This film is a racist depiction of Inuit culture and should be removed from the film festival circuit and thrown in a trash bin. Please do not show this awful, damaging film.

Inuit mothers do not neglect their children. There are cases of it just like in any other race but not ALL inuit women neglect there children. it is sad to see that people would produce such a negative and an incorrect image of inuit women. I have seen living in the north some great mothers of all ethnic groups and have seen disturbing ones as well. It's pathetic to try point out that specifically all inuit mothers are like this. before producing anything and stating anything make sure it's accurate and you have actual real life evidence that all Inuit mothers are like that because you accusations will be proven wrong.

The removal "Of the North" will stop the on going biased acts of the stereotypes!

If you can't put effort into taking stereotypes and racism out of your movie, you aren't putting enough effort into the movie.

Why are First Nations people still a freeforall target for open racism? It's not okay to stereotype and appropriate culture from those people but its fine to do it to these ones? Bull. Pull the film. Or lose all artistic and intellectual integrity. If you even care about that now.

This kind of film is not okay and should not be shown anywhere. It's not creative, it's not artistic- it's racist and should not be branded any other way.

This is disgusting! Documentary should be based on true facts, not false guesses. I will be so disappointed in film festivals who decided to show it to the public. Shame on the man who never even stepped his foot up north, to make this and not even invite an Inuk, or inuit. He must have admitted his viewers would not like what he made, but would show it anyway. Shame on this jerk.

I am not Inuit, I am white of Scottish and Irish decent. If I see a film about the Inuit peoples, I want to see one about the life of the many not the life of the few. There are many white parents who drink and abuse their children, why no video about them?

I support this petition.

Remove this offensive film!

Unacceptable

Please take it off.

This isn't about censorship, no matter how desperate the filmmaker and his friends are to cry it. It's about laying bare the most and least powerful people in Canadian society and refusing to support the status quo. It's about respecting the artists whose work he stole, the people who never gave him permission to be exploited, in the same way we would do for non-Inuit. How long would it take a white family to sue? An American band? Even if you lack empathy and have never herd of the TRC (and can't find Google), these issues should alarm you.

I am disappointed that in these times we still have to deal with major issues of racism in first world " progressive " countries.

if the people portrayed, the Inuit, have denounced this as racist then this film should be removed from this festival...

Petition has reached 600 signatures!

it is ignorant people like them that makes this world a hateful place. They should learn about things before they bother to try and make a movie. I always thought films like that were suppose to be truthful. Well believe me that one will not be. It is the furthest from the truth that you can get.

"Ethnographer" is not a title that anybody can just casually adopt, because ethnography is an extremely complex, delicate and academically specialized practise.
