Vanishing Point

Stephen A. Smith & Julia Szucs

Trailer


Two Inuit communities of the circumpolar north—one on Canada’s Baffin Island, the other in Northwest Greenland—are linked by a migration led by an intrepid shaman. Navarana, Inughuit elder and descendant of the shaman, senses the consequences of rapid social and environmental change, and charts a course into the uncertain future.
