Selected as a Top 10 Audience Favourite of the Festival 

In ANGRY INUK, Alethea Arnaquq-Baril (TUNNIIT: RETRACING THE LINES OF INUIT TATTOOS), challenges the southern world to reconsider its preconceived notions of the commercial seal hunt. By following the lives of Inuit hunters and artisans, she illustrates the quiet anger and frustration of a people whose lives are made exponentially harder by the uninformed legislation and dogma of governments and activists that many of them will never meet.

Arnaquq-Baril presents the Inuit lifestyle as a model for sustainable, ethical industry and exposes how the media’s manipulation of the image of commercial sealing has created a great economic disparity between the Inuit and the environmental lobby groups that threaten their very subsistence. Making repeated overtures to engage noted activists in conversation and open debate, Arnaquq-Baril enlists the help of Inuit youth to spread the truth of their lifestyle through social media.

ANGRY INUK was the winner of both the Audience Award and Canadian Documentary Promotion Award at Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival.

About Parent Previews
This year, CIFF is working with the film review site Parent Previews to review a select number of movies from a family perspective. The main goal of these reviews is to give parents an idea of what they will encounter when they take their kids to the movies. Armed with information about a film's content, parents can then choose movies that are most suitable for their child's interests and sensitivities, as well as one that is in keeping with their family's standards.
