How it feels
This documentary tells the story of the Inuit settlement Okak in Labrador. Moravian missionaries helped the town grow but a ship they brought carried Spanish influenza in 1919. The epidemic killed many Inuit and the town was abandoned. The film uses diaries, old photos, and interviews with survivors.
