Overview
In keeping with Inuit oral culture, the documentary Of Ravens and Children explores issues of family, community, self, environment and culture. Children and teens of Igloolik participate in a summer camp where they talk openly about global issues. Elders speak about the importance of storytelling in their culture, bearing witness to the challenges and victories of passing this important tradition to the Igloolik youth of today.
