Occasionally, it’s enough for a documentary simply to introduce you to a fascinating, complicated human being, even if the storytelling involved gets a little fragmented and unfocused. The primary subject here is Aaju Peter, an Inuit native of Greenland and indigenous-rights activist, whose history includes being sent off to school in Denmark and wrestling with how that experience distanced her from her own culture. The pain in her life extends beyond that childhood trauma—including the death by suicide of her son, and an ongoing relationship with an emotionally and physically abusive partner—and it humanizes Peter beyond the usual hero-worship documentary profile that we see so much of the personal struggles informing her political action. There is, unfortunately, a lack of momentum in director Lin Alluna’s structural decisions, which bounce around to material like visiting her childhood home with her brother, then back to her efforts to establish an Indigenous commission with the European Union, and kind of abandoning potentially fascinating material like the impact of seal-hunting moratoriums on the Inuit people’s way of life and losing the propaganda war to animal-rights activists. It’s inherently compelling, perhaps, to watch someone wrestle with the events that shaped her identity, the way Peter does, and to see such a mix of strength and pain in one person. And it’s also possible to wonder what choices might have made that person’s story into a stronger movie.
