| Summary |
Presents a documentary, based on the book entitled My Eskimo friends, Nanook of the North, by Robert Flaherty, on the saga of an Eskimo family pitting their strength against a vast and inhospitable Arctic. Juxtaposes their struggle for survival against the elements with the warmth of the little family as they go about their daily affairs. With captions |
| Notes |
Crude and primitive as the conditions under which it was made. This direct study of Eskimo life set the standard for and has remained the most famous of the early documentary films. The Walrus hunt scene is especially effective |
