The Porcupine is proud to present a rare and much acclaimed Alaskan film, Spirit of the Wind. Spirit of the Wind is the story of George Attla – Alaska Native dog musher. Shot on location in Fairbanks, the film follows Attla from his life as a young Athabascan trapper in rural Alaska, to a TB diagnosis that meant years in sanitoriums in Tanana and Sitka. Returning home, he faces the challenges of a fused knee and cross cultural conflict, and goes on to become a champion sprint dog musher – the “Huslia Hustler” of Alaska legend.
Winner of numerous awards including the Grand Prize at the 1979 Sundance Film Festival, and an official Un Certain Regard selection at the Cannes Film Festival, Spirit of the Wind is an important Alaskan film that is not to be missed!
