Children of the Arctic
2014, Switzerland, Director: Nick Brandestini, Producer: Vesna Eckert; 93 min.
Reachable only by plane and inhabited primarily by Native Alaskans, Barrow is a place where temperatures reach far below 30 degrees Celsius and the sun doesn’t shine for months at a time. Children of the Arctic profiles five Barrow youth as they try to balance modern life with traditional Inuit culture in an era of radical change.
