Mala the Magnificent

Mala is a great Inuit hunter. His family and friends are all well fed as long as he's around. They are all happy and comfortably. News come that white men in their floating house are trading guns for furs. Mala and his family set off to get one of the new guns. The white men want more than his furs which leads a series of ugly events.

I must warn animal lovers. There are some scenes of hunter and butchering. It's real and would be brutal for those animal lovers. The real action and real arctic living is some of the best parts of the movie. There is also the cast of real native people. The first part up to the event at the ship is really compelling. Mala is a charismatic actor despite being an amateur. The middle gets a bit slow although it has a crazy caribou hunt. The last part is interesting for the clash of cultures. The movie is a little long in the middle but it's very compelling with the reality of their world.
