Famed Danish explorer Knud Rasmussen passed away shortly after the filming of this absorbing documentary on Eskimo life in the Angmagssalik district of Greenland. Although the film presents a fictional scenario—the rivalry between two Eskimo hunters as they compete for the hand of the same girl, culminating in a spectacular battle—it is the richly detailed ethnographic elements portraying the daily life of the culture that provide the most compelling aspects of this classic work.
