Nanook of the North
Robert Flaherty
1922

It's about Nanook. He lives in the North. It's cold. He hunts a lot.
A lot of the scenes were staged. They pull a dead seal out of the water.
Whatever, they can do what they want.
You don't really get annoyed about how exploitative this was until you find out that Nanook died of starvation two years after the movie came out.
