Robert Flaherty is a geologist. I came to the Eskimo activity area on the east coast of Hudson Bay in Canada for work needs and lived for 11 years.
. Beginning in 1910, he was ordered to explore mines in Hudson Bay, Alaska, and brought a camera with him. He shot some scenes of the production and life of Eskimos on the Arctic coast, but the film was destroyed by a fire. In 1920, he returned to the Eskimo village again under the patronage of the French leather goods dealers Levyon brothers and filmed the film again.

It is meaningless to discuss whether the deliberate shooting process of some plots violates documentary guidelines, because documentary is defined by it.

It was as shocking as watching "The Last Mountain God", feeling that this is the starting point of the documentary, a 1922 work. Is the documentary completely true? The documentary is just "poetic truth". Thinking of "the dynasty bacteria do not know the syllabus, the worms do not know the spring and autumn", will the Eskimos feel that their life is hard and barbaric? Will Nanuk, who starved to death two years later, feel that his life is sad? Probably neither, because they think that there is the whole world. What about us?
