Description: A documentary film dedicated to the Eskimo, a primitive and picturesque people whose very existence in that frigid world is beyond ordinary comprehension. Their life is one of unrelenting struggle against starvation and the most violent forces of nature. How they manage to obtain food, how they dress, how they amuse themselves, and how they construct the snow igloos that protect them from the terrific Arctic storms is narrated and pictured by the explorer Richard Finnie
