Maliglutit

Searchers
Tuesday, August 8 2017 - 8:30 pm

Synopsis

The plot of John Ford’s 1956 western The Searchers serves as inspiration for a very different kind of revenge story, in which an Inuk man and his band of maliglutit ("followers") set out across the barren Arctic. In his own kind of western, Kunuk questions the possibility of justice in a seemingly unjust world.
