Featuring stunning footage from seven winters in the Arctic, People of a Feather takes you through time into the world of the Inuit on the Belcher Islands in Canada's Hudson Bay. Connecting past, present and future is a unique relationship with the eider duck. Eider down, the warmest feather in the world, allows both Inuit and bird to survive harsh Arctic winters. Traditional life is juxtaposed with modern challenges as both Inuit and eiders confront changing sea ice and ocean currents disrupted by the massive hydroelectric dams powering New York and eastern North America. Inspired by Inuit ingenuity and the technology of a simple feather, the film is a call to action to implement energy solutions that work with nature.
Learn about the Inuit people, their habitat, culture and life today. Their wisdom and knowledge of the Arctic and the effects of Climate Change is deep and profound. The film details yet another way that Hydro-Quebec is negatively impacting indigenous people, the microenvironment in which they live and even the flow of major ocean currents in both the Arctic and Atlantic oceans. An example of how indigenous wisdom and knowledge can intersect and supplement the science of Climate Change.
