Documentary • 50 min • 1 season, 2 episodes
Episode synopsis
Greenland longs for independence, but first it must learn to stand on its own two feet. The threats from America are therefore a wake-up call. Greenland possesses enormous, largely untapped mineral wealth. The future may look bright, but at what price? Are the Greenlanders willing to abandon age-old traditions and customs that make them unique, but may also hinder their future? In Qaqortoq, Karine sets out with chef Salik. He invites her to a Greenlandic meal at his home, along with his American partner, Julia. He also takes Karine to Narsaq, a small town at the foot of a highly sought-after mineral-rich mountain. His niece, Avaaraq, is fighting against the opening of a mine there.
