An iceberg looms, huge and luminous. A
river winds through a wide glacial valley, surrounded by stark mountains.
A rainbow arches over the rocky terrain. "My name is Adamie Inukpuk,"
says the Inuit, drinking from the glacial stream. "I have lived in this
land for over 5,000 years." The grandson of legendary Nanook, who burst
onto the screen and into our hearts in 1922's Nanook of the North, Adamie
guides you through the land, traditions and culture of the Inuit. Experience
a whirling journey of rich landscapes, course over the rugged terrain
with a rhythmic energy like that of a herd of migrating caribou, and
share the extraordinary plight of the people who have long lived in
harmony with the harsh elements of the Arctic. Great North features
the wild vistas of some of the world’s most spectacular landscapes -
the Artic regions of Quebec and Labrador, as well as northern Sweden.
The endless silence of the tundra. Icebergs drifting majestically on
the Arctic waters. The elegant ballet of the aurora borealis. And the
unceasing, ingenious efforts of northern peoples to adapt to life in
an environment both harsh and rich.
Director: Martin J. Dignard & William Reeve
