Synopsis
The vast Greenlandic ice sheet has been created over thousands of years but today climate change is threatening the close and sacred connection between the land moulded by ice and the Inuit who live there. Told from an Indigenous perspective the film celebrates Greenlandic mythology as much as it laments the nature we are all losing.
The film was screened, for example, at the CPH:DOX 2024 International Film Festival in Copenhagen.
