Atanarjuat – Fast Runner

2002. Available on DVD and through Netflix.

This was the first commercially successful film to explore Inuit culture. In this Cannes Film Festival award winner, two Inuit brothers (Amaqjuaq, the Strong One, and Atanarjuat, the Fast Runner) struggle to save their nomadic tribe from evil. Atanarjuat romances the beautiful Atuat, much to the chagrin of the arrogant son of the tribe leader, Oki, who won’t stand escapes. Filmed with Inuit actors in Inuktitut (with English sub-titles).
