The Arctic plains are an eminent example of nature’s untouched beauty: an endless emptyness in which only few know how to survive. But dangerous pesticides are silently accumulating here, poisoning its inhabitants. A young Inuit woman investigates the sources of this pollution. She travels to three different continents where conflicting interests meet short-term gains and healthy solutions for agriculture, industries and health care.

The recent developments in the Arctic are as a seriously disturbing preview of the pollution worldwide.

TUMM LUMI
Režissöör Jan van den Berg

Arktilistes avarustes vaid mõned liigid suudavad elus püsida. Aga ka siin on elu hädaohus, sest pestitsiidid kogunevad toiduahela lõpus seisvate liikide kehadesse. Noor innuiidi naine püüab välja selgitada reostusallikaid. Ta reisib kolmel kontinendil, kust leiab huvide konflikte, mis põhjustavadki üleilmset looduse reostust.
