Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 I just saw the movie " Fast Runner " which is set in a pre-contact Eskimo village. The writers/directors/actors are all native Eskimo. It won the Cannes Film award best film of the year for 2001. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00007L4ON/qid=1073515395//ref=sr_\ 8_xs_ap_i0_xgl74/103-3118273-0480603?v=glance & s=dvd & n=507846 It is fictional (and an epic story of love, murder and greed based on old legend) but throughout the entire film it goes into intimate detail of Eskimo life in particular diet -- anyone who knows WAP will watch this film in amazement it is everything WAP said. Very interesting to see it come alive on the screen lots of lessons here. --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 One movie alone on healthcare is not enough. I suggest people also view some of the short documentaries by Stuart Browning. http://www.onthefencefilms.com/video/deadmeat/ There are three listed on this page and I think all can be seen from there for free. He may have more available on www.youtube.com. Just do a search on Stuart Browning. If information is what one seeks, then look at them all. in WNC > > Hi All, > I saw Sicko by , and I encourage you all to see it. It is > really relevant to people with chronic disease.
