Nanook of the North

Nanook of the North (1922) is a silent documentary film directed by Robert J. Flaherty, who had grown up in Port Arthur. Filmed in 1920–21 at Port Harrison and Cape Dufferin in northern Quebec with funding from Revillon Frères, it follows the hunter Nanook and his family, and opened at the Capitol Theatre in New York in June 1922. It is often called the world's first documentary.
