His second feature,\u00a0<em>The Journals of Knud Rasmussen<\/em>, opened TIFF in 2006. A decade later, Kunuk and collaborator Natar Ungalaaq have used the plot of John Ford\u2019s 1956 western\u00a0<em>The Searchers<\/em>\u00a0as inspiration for a very different kind of revenge story, in which an Inuk man and his band of\u00a0<em>maliglutit<\/em>\u00a0(&quot;followers&quot;) set out across the barren Arctic in search of the marauders who have ransacked his home and kidnapped his wife.<\/p>\n<p>Like Ford\u2019s film, Kunuk&#39;s\u00a0<em>Maliglutit (Searchers)<\/em>\u00a0explores the repercussions of violence, asking whether these hunters have begun to act like those who have torn apart their family. Very unlike Ford, Kunuk questions not only the colonial ideology inherent to the western genre, but also the possibility of justice in a seemingly unjust world. With a tale as timeless as the landscape in which it is set, Canada\u2019s foremost Inuk filmmaker has provided us with another classic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 -
