Nanook of the North is a silent documentary film by Robert J. Flaherty, released in 1922. In the tradition of what would be called salvage ethnography, Flaherty captured the struggles of the Inuit Nanook and his family in the Canadian arctic. The film is considered the first feature-length documentary, though Flaherty has been criticized for staging much of the action and distorting the reality of his subjects' lives. 1, record 7, English, - Nanook%20of%20the%20North
