Nanook of the North
d. Robert Flaherty
Nanook of the North is one of the most fascinating documentaries I've seen; it follows an eskimo, Nanook, and his family as they struggle to survive in the artic. We see them fishing, hunting, building igloos, and I sat absolutely dazzled for its brief 80 minutes. Truly one of the great portrayals of family ever put on film.
