    • Synopsis
    • A Greenland Story is an award-winning 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, we felt it was 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 humble 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.

      These 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? Perhaps one that offers an easier type of living, but one that brings its own difficulties.

      This is a celebration of Greenland’s culture, a lament for a changing way of life and a yearning for a positive future for a culture facing such uncertain times.
