Nanook of the North

Nanook and his family arrive at a trading station after several days trekking. They barter furs for goods while Nanook listens to music from a gramophone. The traders explain that the sounds come from a record, but Nanook, who is familiar with the songs of whales tries to eat it. The documentary describes the trading, hunting, fishing and migrations of a group of Eskimo people barely touched by industrial technology. It was praised as the first full-length, anthropological documentary in cinematographic history.
