Matthew Aliuk: Eskimo in Two Worlds

Matthew's Uncle Isak comes to visit the family in Anchorage after undergoing harsh and unfruitful hunting conditions in the North. Uncle Isak's challenges in dealing with a more structured urban environment presents a problem for he and family. The story is poignant especially when told by the Eskimos in the film; at these times the faces of the narrators reveal their sorrow and unease even more than their words. Awards: Midwest Film Festival Merit Award. Alaska Council of Arts Award.
