Filled with gorgeous cinematography of this icy landscape and intimate views of the humans on the frontlines of climate change – SILA explores the Greenlandic idea that weather acts as the conscience of nature.

The concept of SILA – a term that encompasses weather, balance and consciousness – frames a story in the world’s northernmost inhabited Inuit village within the Arctic Circle, in Greenland.

As international polar scientists on Greenland’s Inland Ice Cap track the effects and far-reaching consequences of the warming Arctic, these drastic changes in weather patterns are also impacting the Inuit’s centuries-old practices of subsistence living.
