Matthew Aliuk: Eskimo in Two Worlds by Bert Salzman Film - Christian Music Videos

Matthew Aliuk: Eskimo in Two Worlds (1973) by Bert Salzman. Matthew's Uncle Isak comes to visit the family in Anchorage after undergoing harsh and unfruitful hunting conditions in the North. Uncle Isak's challenges in dealing with a more structured urban environment presents a problem for he and family. The story is poignant especially when told by the real native American Eskimo's in the film; at these times the faces of the narrators reveal their sorrow and unease even more than their words. Matthew unselfishly helps his uncle reclaim his lost dignity. A very moving story! And a model for young people. Awards: Midwest Film Festival Merit Award; Alaska Council of Arts Award. Director: Bert Salzman; Producer: Bert Salzman.
