A tech-savvy generation of Inuit activists takes to social media, armed with smartphones and sharp wit. They deploy humorous "sealfies" to confront the aggressive vitriol of international animal rights campaigns that threaten their ancestral hunting practices and economic survival. Filmmaker Alethea Arnaquq-Baril follows these advocates as they shatter archaic stereotypes, presenting themselves to the world as a modern people in urgent need of a sustainable economy. This is a frontline view of a cultural battle for dignity, self-determination, and survival in a globalized age.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Alethea Arnaquq-Baril crafts a documentary that is both a personal testament and a strategic counter-offensive in the court of public opinion. The film powerfully reframes the seal hunt from a distant moral abstraction into an urgent issue of indigenous rights, economic justice, and cultural continuity.

What lingers after the credits is the profound dissonance between well-meaning but often ill-informed activism and the complex, lived reality of a community fighting for its future. This is essential, eye-opening viewing. — MovieFinder Editorial
