- Synopsis
- Greenland Story is an independent feature length documentary set along the West coast of Greenland, this film reveals a country and people at a crossroads between tradition and modernity. Inspired by their unique culture and their connection with the natural world, It is important to tell this story during a time of such drastic change to both their culture and climate.
  
  With no roads connecting its coastal communities, a sail boat and its Irish crew move quietly in the background giving rare access to remote villages up into the Arctic Circle. In near 24-hour daylight, sailing by vast icebergs and sharing midnight encounters with humpback whales, we are invited into homes and communities along the way.
  
  Heartfelt interactions reveal a generous and inviting people battling to hold onto a culture that forms their identity. A hunting society turned capitalist, local hunters no longer feed their communities. As the ice disappears around them, what future beckons?
