Minik

1897: Artic explorer Robert Peary brought Eskimo boy Minik, along with his father and three relatives, from Greenland to New York for research purposes. Within a short time, all the Eskimos except Minik died.

For 12 years, Minik continued to live in America until he finally managed to return to Greenland. In a collage of interviews, reenactments and archival material such as photographs and and written documents, Minik tells the dramatic story of a life between cultures and openly explores a largely secretive chapter from the beginnings of the anthropological sciences.
