This film is the first documentary by American filmmaker Robert Flaherty, who is renowned as the "father of documentaries." It chronicles the daily life of an Inuit family led by Nunuk near Inukjuak, in the Hudson Bay area of Quebec, Canada, from August 1920 to August 1921. It includes scenes of trading with white settlers, fishing, hunting walrus and seal, cooking over a fire, and building an igloo, marking the beginning of anthropological social imaging documentation. Flaherty's staged scenes and recreations have stirred considerable controversy, such as concealing the fact that Nunuk typically hunted with a rifle and deliberately showcasing traditional Inuit spear-fishing methods. For instance, to film the scene of Nunuk’s family waking up inside the igloo, he removed half the lighting from the igloo. This film is the first full-length documentary in history and was selected for the National Film Registry by the U.S. Library of Congress in 1989.
