## Resource

This episode spoils 1922’s silent film Nanook of the North. This is a preview. Become a subscriber to listen to the full episode at patreon.com/lightscameraaccolade This proto-”documentary” helped invent documentaries… and also helped invent faking them. The movie vividly portrays elements of Inuit life as it follows “Nanook” and his “family” through many of their traditions and survival tactics. It ultimately raises several questions about authenticity versus narrative— like did Nanook actually solo hunt seven polar bears with just a harpoon? Was the family in danger of freezing to death if they didn’t build the igloo in one hour? ARE THOSE EVEN HIS REAL WIVES? Probably not. Did we have a great time watching it anyway? Absolutely.
