In just over 50 years, the Inuit have gone from the igloo to the internet- a profound transformation that would shock any society. Ullumi provides an unvarnished glimpse at a community dealing with pressures from within and from without against the backdrop of renewed debate over the future status of the Arctic world. Co-directors Evie Mark, Tunu Napartuk, Lena and Qajaaq Ellsworth explore the major challenges facing their families, their communities and their culture.
