DetailsAbout
Be Smile tells the stories of two Inuit men living an urban life in the aftermath of Canada's long history of attempts to unmake an ancient aboriginal culture. Drawing on the strong oral tradition of the Inuit people, the subjects of this documentary recount their stories of childhood hunting expeditions and a lost nomadic way of life, of sexual abuse and alcohol addiction, and of the Christian church's effects on the Inuit worldview. Their stories also reveal a wisdom and outlook that have persisted despite their devastating trials. In the face of all miseries, they resolve to "be smile."

Robert S. Lewis is the author of "Gaj: The End of Religion".
