The story of Joseph Idlout, a highly respected Inuit hunter who was pictured for many years on the back of Canada's two dollar bill. Idlout's son, Peter Paniloo, takes us on a poignant journey through his father's life and tragic death. With footage from the NFB film The Land of the Long Day, we see Paniloo as a boy of 14, living in his father's camp on the land in stark contrast with his life today in Pond Inlet with its satellite TV, supermarkets and fax machines.
