Nanook Of The North
''Nanook of the North'' is a 1922 American silent film that combines elements of documentary and docudrama/docufiction, at a time when the concept of separating films into documentary and drama did not yet exist. In the tradition of what would later be called salvage ethnography, the film follows the struggles of the Inuk man named Nanook and his family in the Canadian Arctic.

Some have criticized Flaherty for staging several sequences, but the film has been described by Roger Ebert as "stand ngalone" among Flaherty's films "in its stark regard for the courage and ingenuity of its heroes."
