Angotee
Scope and Contents
The program contrasts an Eskimo boy, Angotee, with an American boy, his counterpart of the same age. The show opens with Charles Collingwood observing a group of children playing in Central Park and then moves on to the film Angotee, on the life of an Eskimo boy. The story takes place in the Baffin Islands in northern Canada and follows Angotee from birth through marriage and parenting. At five years of age, Angotee learns to build an igloo and he kills his first seal at ten. The high points of his life, including his first trip, his first clothes, his marriage, and the subsequent birth of a son, are chronicled in this documentary. The film was produced by the National Film Board of Canada.
