Hunting whales is a matter of life or death for the Indigenous people of St. Lawrence. So, when Chris becomes the youngest person to harpoon a whale for his Alaskan village, his mother proudly shares the news on Facebook. To her surprise, thousands of keyboard activists brutally attack Chris without understanding his accomplishment. The film is a heartwarming yet thrilling story of one family’s struggle to rebuild their shattered identity and regain a new foothold in the old and modern world.
