Spirit of the Wind (1979) Presented by AMIPA and Doyon Foundation

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.

“Spirit of the Wind” is the winner of numerous awards including the Grand Prize at the 1979 Sundance Film Festival, and was an official Un Certain Regard selection at the Cannes Film Festival.
