Seal Hunters of the Arctic

on BBC Two England

The first in a series of Global Report
"I don't like those people who are trying to stop us hunting seals, although I don't mind them trying to stop the clubbing. It angers me that we have been affected by the clubbing, although we don't support it." Victor Akatsiak is an Eskimo hunter in the Canadian Arctic. This film follows him and his family on the annual spring hunt of seal and caribou, where children are taught traditional skills needed to live on the land. It's a way of life that has changed very little for thousands of years, but now the Eskimos feel threatened by southern interference. Ian Creery reports on how they are fighting back.
