3.5/4
A dignified response to those who oppose seal hunting but willfully ignore the fact that international bans on seal products severely inhibit the subsistence hunting vital to Arctic communities. Go to Full Review C.J. Prince 4:3 12/15/2017
[Director Alethea] Arnaquq-Baril has an undoubtedly difficult challenge on her hands: convincing viewers that slaughtering seals is, in fact, a good thing. Go to Full Review T'Cha Dunlevy Montreal Gazette 02/09/2017
3.5/5
From the outset of Alethea Arnaquq-Baril's eye-opening documentary Angry Inuk, it is clear that this is going to be a different take on seal hunting than the one that has dominated the mainstream conversation over the past four decades. Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film 01/27/2017

03/12/2022 A beautifully made, intimate, and straight from the heart doc. Everyone interested in indigenous issues and climate change should see this. See more 06/14/2017 A stunning movie that I used in the classroom to raise student awareness of global issues facing northern communities. Students were stunned by what saw and had never thought to question such issues as how animal rights groups raise their money or how their work might negatively impact anyone. Beautifully filmed and thoughtfully presented throughout. See more 11/16/2016 Eye-opening! A must-see. See more Read all reviews
