Nanock to the North comments
This review of Robert Flaherty's documentary from 1922 ' Nanock to the North is an accurate one. It does rubbish the film however Flaherty deserves this criticism for contriving and creating characters that weren't who it is claimed they are. For example in the documentary the actor who plays " Nanock" is actually a man from the area who's name isn't Nanock. In the documentary he is shown using spears and knives only however in real life he uses a gun showing Flaherty's desperate attempt to bring something different to the audience, something the review picks up on. The rubbishing of this film is in the fault of the director Flaherty and not in the review itself.
