ARTE Re: Childhood in Greenland

On the island of Uummaanaq, in western Greenland, parentless and abused Inuit children return to their roots.

In the northernmost children's home in the world, Greenlandic traditions and values will help them build a new identity from the ruins of their lives. Many of them have experienced terrible things: violence, sexual abuse, neglect. Often their parents are alcoholics, overburdened with education or no longer alive. The children are to free themselves from their traumatic past and find their place in life.
