A few moments ago I’ve sent all my friends a request to join the movie Facebook fan page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Le-Voyage-dInuk-On-thin-Ice/60867737760
Just want to let friends know about this amazing film made on a beautiful island inhabited with good people! Greenland with the town of Uummannaq, Greenland, is that place.
By the way… Ole Jorgen Hammeken is among my fb friends. It’s a man, who starred in the movie. He is depicting that brutal-look guy on a sledge, who was asked to care an orphan-teenager, Inuk, as his son.
The Inuk film is not on big screens yet. It is currently shown only on special premiers around the world. Each screening appears to be a big event. Recently it was appraised in Oslo during the last International Polar Year conference. Very good feedbacks this movie has. Hope one day it will make it to Yakutsk!
Enjoy the Arctic!
