Description
| Summary: | Paulusie lives with his adoptive parents in the remote Inuit community of Inukjuak (the Inuktitut word for "giant"). He's a caring son to his ailing father and a good boyfriend. The extreme landscape of Inukjuak--where life and all its routines are controlled by the weather--determines if Paulusie is out doing what he enjoys most: hunting and fishing. But what begins as the story of an innocent teenager quickly becomes the struggle of a young man coping with the guilt of having made a huge mistake. LIVING WITH GIANTS is a quiet and devastating portrait of this young boy; one that offers deep appreciation of the issues and difficulties facing this community
