Muktuk

Synopsis: Shot on the mosquito-ridden shores of the Mackenzie Delta in Canada’s North-West Territories, the film deals with the annual beluga (white whale) hunt. Follows three families who have migrated 110 miles in order to lay in supplies for the winter. Buster Kalek and his grandson Trevor are seen in a dramatic beluga chase. Elders of the Innuvialluit Eskimo feel that the survival of their way of life lies in the transmission of knowledge about traditional fishing.*
