Leave your thoughts about Angry Inuk.
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Brian GibsonIn her personal, reactivist National Film Board documentary Angry Inuk, director Alethea Arnaquq-Baril asks -- how does a culture with an understated anger fight against misinformers so outraged and outspoken? The film itself is one answer. |
| NOW TorontoSusan G. ColeAngry Inuk imparts important information about an issue we tend to think we know everything about and delivers a powerful emotional punch. |
| 4:3C.J. Prince[Director Alethea] Arnaquq-Baril has an undoubtedly difficult challenge on her hands: convincing viewers that slaughtering seals is, in fact, a good thing. |
| Montreal GazetteT'Cha DunlevyFrom the outset of Alethea Arnaquq-Baril's eye-opening documentary Angry Inuk, it is clear that this is going to be a different take on seal hunting than the one that has dominated the mainstream conversation over the past four decades. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeWhere the film gets really interesting is where Arnaquq-Baril tries to communicate with the animal rights organisations pushing for further anti-sealing legislation. |
| User ReviewBraeden%20 HA stunning movie that I used in the classroom to raise student awareness of global issues facing northern communities. Students were stunned by what saw and had never thought to question such issues as how animal rights groups raise their money or how their work might negatively impact anyone. Beautifully filmed and thoughtfully presented throughout. |
