Event Type

In collaboration with the Chandler Center for the Arts in their inaugural Vermont Social Justice Festival, we present the first of three films.

Featuring stunning footage from seven winters in the Arctic, People of a Feather takes you through time into the world of the Inuit on the Belcher Islands in Canada’s Hudson Bay. Connecting past, present, and future is a unique relationship with the eider duck. Eiderdown, the warmest feather in the world, allows both Inuit and birds to survive harsh Arctic winters. Traditional life is juxtaposed with modern challenges as both Inuit and eiders confront changing sea ice and ocean currents disrupted by the massive hydroelectric dams powering New York and eastern North America. Inspired by Inuit ingenuity and the technology of a simple feather, the film is a call to action to implement energy solutions that work with nature.
