Call of the Ice is a 2016 French-Greenlandic documentary film about the director's effort to learn to survive a Greenland winter while living as an Inuit hunter.

Synopsis

[edit]

The film documents American-born film director, Mike Magidson, as he travels to Uummannaq, Greenland—where he has previously made three films: Ice School (2000), La longue trace (2003), and Inuk (2012). Mentored and outfitted by the local Inuit community, Magidson attempts to survive for several weeks, alone on an ice floe, using dog sleds to fish and hunt seal.[1][2]
