The White Dawn

"The White Dawn" is a powerful and poignant drama that brings to life a true story of cultural clash and conflict in 19th century Canada. Based on the novel by James Archibald Houston, the film tells the gripping tale of three whalers who become stranded in the Arctic and are rescued by an Inuit tribe, only to find their European ways increasingly influencing and affecting the tribe's customs, leading to tensions that ultimately culminate in tragedy. Shot entirely on location on Baffin Island with a "skeleton crew", this authentic and immersive film employs Inuit language dialogue and features stunning natural landscapes.
