Survival in the High North

A controversial documentary on the struggle of three small nations, Greenland, Iceland and the Faeroe Islands, for survival in the harsh natural surroundings of the Hight north. The film focuses on forceful campaigns against these nations' economic interests, launched worldwide by international protest groups, such as Greenpeace. It is the traditional utilization of marine mammals, whales and seals, that is opposed bitterly by the protest groups, who usually claim that the hunting methods are inhumane or that the whale stocks face extinction-claims which are rejected outright by scientists.
