All movies are made basically from a story. Inuit are just learning to make films and I belive they are enjoying it. Let them be.

This film shouldn't even be called that. It's not. Certainly not a documentary. It's a hateful opinion piece based on ignorance. There is no way any such film about African American people or Muslims or any other culture would be viewed as a "documentary film". It's sad to think we are ok with this being done to an Aboriginal culture. This is by far the worst form of cultural appropriation I have ever seen.

Enough of ppl saying bad things about Inuit why not let everyone see how loving and how we share what we have.

Canadian Charter of rights can't be described as racist to any Canadians so "Of the North" is a Language to Inuit and other aboriginal ethnics Languages I'd like to see people get along well together no matter what our race is. This is Canada

This film sounds terrible. Inuit should not be portrayed in such a terrible way. Having lived in Nunavut for over 12 years this is embarrassing.

There are SO many things wrong with screening this film at festivals, especially with no Inuit invited to comment. Also the timing is so wrong, as Canada, after many years of denial, is finally leaping in on the side of aboriginal peoples, to really do something to address the stereotypes and move towards Reconciliation. If festivals screen this film, give awards to this film, they are in effect perpetuating the negative stereotypes against Inuit, rewarding the ignorance of this "filmmaker," and working against Canadians' efforts to eliminate the apartheid in our country. Please remove the film.
