    Truly incredible documentary. It brought tears in my eyes. Canadians must stand together with Inuit peoples. The ban on seal is wrong in many levels. Canada MUST preserve Inuit culture, and way of life.

    This movie was amazing! Please don't stop making movies. I'm so frustrated and sad - They say "protect the seal" and I say, "protect the children." The ban on seal is ignorant at best.

    Documentaire sensé qui me donne envie de parler un peu! On y comprend la stratégie subtile et perverse de nos sociétés et l'exploitation des bons sentiments du peuple par certaines associations environnementales majeures à des fins non éthiques, purement financières et, à terme, destructrices de l’environnement (...Une nouvelle désillusion pour moi...). Il s'agit encore une fois d'utiliser les gens, leur ramollir le cerveau et les manipuler mais il y a de l'horreur, je trouve, à se servir des aspects les plus honorables de l'humain dont l'empathie... C'est le comble du piège, qui devient de plus en plus courant et peut être ressenti comme une vraie trahison envers l'humanité. Malgré la décroissance du nombre des conflits, rapportée pour ce dernier siècle, la capacité de perversion semble quant à elle avoir et pouvoir encore augmenter ! Ce documentaire amène aussi à la réflexion sur la confrontation des réalités et leurs causes. Se croire supérieur et plus intelligent que tout et notamment des peuples humains paisibles et connectés au plus proche de la nature du fait de notre amour envers le béton, l'avidité et notre soi-disant meilleure éducation ou sécurité? Vraiment? Notre erreur est peut être plutôt d’avoir peur des lois naturelles, elles-mêmes? Cette dernière raison, ce rejet de la nature, pourrait engendrer une incapacité à se remettre en question, à changer et à s'ouvrir à plus grand que ce que l'on maitrise et raisonne, ce qui est pourtant le propre et le naturel de l’évolution du vivant, le moteur, non? Il est clair qu'une des qualités de l'humain des plus ancrée est son adaptation à l'environnement qui l'entoure. Ainsi, en créant des environnements artificiels, déconnectés de la nature, l'humain, avec le temps, s’égare naturellement mais vraiment du chemin de la vie.

    Dear Alethea Arnaquq-Baril, What an fantastic film! I just watched your powerful film "Angry Inuk" and immediately search online to find where I could add my support. Your film is very well made and really captures how important the commercial seal hunt is to your people and way of life. I commend you and everyone involved, on both sides of the lens, for making and sharing this "Educational" film with the world. The film is listed under the film subjects; "Traditional way of life" and "Hunting" , but hopely the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) can update it to be listed under all the relevant film categories on this site. I would especially like to see it listed as an educational film. Hopefully the NFB can also include some links and references to the film's description, where people can go to learn how they can help. Best wishes to you the Inuit people, Serge P.S. Love the Inuit facial and body tattoos. So beautiful!
