The MM - "The story of the Inukitut warrior who saves his own life and his tribes integrity by running naked over miles of frozen tundra. The story of the "fast runner" is an ancient native Canadian tale that has been passed down verbally from generation to generation, however the movie's setting is the present day. This 172 minute epic is written, directed, and acted by actual tribesmen in their native tongue. Historical, powerful, and personal, this movie truly does "bring the legend to life."
