 From http://www.atanarjuat.com:
"Atanarjuat (Fast Runner) is Canada's first feature-length fiction film 
written, produced, directed, and acted by Inuit. An exciting action 
thriller set in ancient Igloolik, the film unfolds as a life-threatening 
struggle between powerful natural and supernatural characters.

Atanarjuat gives international audiences a more authentic view of Inuit 
culture and oral tradition than ever before, from the inside and through 
Inuit eyes.

For countless generations, Igloolik elders have kept the legend of 
Atanarjuat alive to teach young Inuit the danger of setting personal 
desire above the needs of the group."
