NANOOK REVISITED 057166
robert flaherty's Nanook of the North created the very genre of film documentary, with its documentation of Nanook the Inuit and Eskimo traditions. Unfortunately, the documentary is as much Flaherty's arti stic and directorial imagination as reality. This program revisits Inukjiak, the site of Flaherty's filming, where Eskimo oral tradition still retains the memory of Flaherty's shoot. Though Flaherty was some thing of a fraud, exploited the Inuits, sired children to whose future he paid no heed, the myths he created are proudly celebrated - not totally true, but, like most myths, rooted in reality.

NATION OF LAW? (1968-1971), A 055767
By the late 1960's, anger was smoldering in poorer urban areas over charges of police brutality. Movement activists increasingly became targets of police harassment at both the local and federal levels through the F.B.I.'s Counter Intelligence Program. In the midst of this growing tension, inmates at New York's Attica prison took over the prison in an effort to publicize intolerable conditions. During the police assault which ended the takeover, several inmates and guards were killed. For some, Attica came to symbolize the brutality of a hardened political regime.

NENETSI SAMOYEDS: NOMADS OF THE SIBERIAN TUNDRA 057645
This unusual program provides an ethnographic record of the harsh life of the nomadic Nenetsi reindeer herdsmen of the Yamal Peninsula. Minimal narration allows stark images to speak for themselves. The harshness of the Nenetsi existence, precarious and dependent on the whims of nature, is reinforced as the camera follows the nomads on their spring journey to southern grazing lands. There, adults hunt, fish, or construct sleds and temporary huts, while children draw pictures that represent their lives. This is a fascinating glimpse into the daily existence of a pre-industrial people living in the modern world.

Europe's powers imposed these new terms of political organization with virtually no sensitivity to how they would disrupt traditional patterns of coexistence, thereby setting the stage for conflict over arbitrary national boundaries.
