Angry Inuk

This documentary explores seal hunting through the perspective of  Inuit communities in Canada. Screened in conjunction with our exhibition, Natchiq | Onkeehq | Isuwiq: Indigenous Artists Honor the Seal, this documentary interweaves advocacy and public policy with indigenous identity, generational traditions, economic pressures, and  colonial demands on Arctic villages.
Writer and director Alethea Arnaquq-Baril follows activists as they assert the ways seal hunting as a cornerstone of Induit culture, economy, and survival, inviting viewers to see this intense decades-long issue from the community perspective.
Following the screening, hear from environmental historian Dr. Bathsheba Demuth, Dean’s Associate Professor of History and Environment and Society and Faculty Director of Native American and Indigenous Studies Initiative at Brown University, whose work focuses on the Western North American and Eastern Russian Arctic.

Run time: 1 hour, 25 minutes. This film includes images of seal hunting, blood, and artisanal Indigenous animal processing.
