Life on Thin Ice

For thousands of years the Inuit people lived off the land. Nomadic hunters, chasing targets depending on the seasons. Now those weather patterns have utterly and irreversibly shifted. Locals say that sea ice used to form in September. Now, it forms in October, or as late as November. The Arctic is now warming at least twice as fast as the rest of the globe, according to the Arctic Program Report Card. Climate change is threatening Inuit's survival. Both physically and mentally. Inuit women are trying to hold their families together through it all. Life on Thin Ice follows three generations of Inuit women; a grandmother, mother and daughter to see what direct human impact climate change has had on the community. What else have they lost, along with the ice?
