#maliglutit

Tomorrow is International Polar Bear Day! This year we want to raise awareness about polar bears and their warming climate as usual, but we also want to draw attention to the *people* who call the Arctic home, and the amazing work they do! In celebration of the North, tomorrow we are showing Zacharias Kunuk & Natar Ungalaaq's feature film, Maliglutit (Searchers).

Searchers, a reimagining of the John Ford film, is a slow burn. But the kidnapped wife, Ailla, brings the film to life for me. She will kick and punch and pull her attacker's hair, she will untie the knots as he ties them, she will run away while he sleeps, she will take the hot tea asked for and throw it in his face. I want to see more of her in movies.
