On Monday 26 November we will screen the film Angry Inuk. In this film, director Alethea Arnaquq-Baril takes a closer look at the central role of seal hunting in the lives of Inuit, and the negative impact that international campaigns against seal hunting have had on their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Film<\/strong>: Angry Inuk by Alethea Arnaquq-Barils Director Alethea Arnaquq-Baril's Angry Inuk examines, to heartbreaking effect, what anti-sealing sentiment is doing to Inuit communities in Canada and around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The film functions partly as a personal documentary and partly as a portrait of a community (Arnaquq-Baril's family lives on Baffin Island, one of the regions hardest hit economically by various protests and bans), while charting the history of the anti-sealing movement with precision and clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Watch the trailer from the film:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
