Featuring groundbreaking footage from seven winters in the Arctic, People of a Feather takes you through time into the world of Inuit on the Belcher Islands in Hudson Bay. Connecting past, present and future is a unique cultural relationship with the eider duck. Eider down, the warmest feather in the world, allows both Inuit and bird to survive harsh Arctic winters. Recreations of traditional life 100 years ago are juxtaposed with modern life in Sanikiluaq, as both people and eiders face the challenges posed by changing sea ice and ocean currents disrupted by the massive hydroelectric dams powering eastern North America. The eyes of a remote subsistence culture challenge the world to find energy solutions that work with the seasons of our hydrological cycle. Motivated by deep personal relationships and intimate firsthand experience, the film presents an engaging story of life in the Arctic through the eyes of Inuit. Dialogue among characters establishes context, creating an open discussion of critical socio-environmental issues with limited voice over. Versatile cinematography (Canon 7D) and unprecedented access provide stunning visuals, capturing uninhibited moments, reflecting modern life while maintaining deep roots in the Flaherty tradition.
