i am feeling so many emotions right now and i think the strongest is like this is a show made of compassion. compassion for those men that died and compassion for the inuit people affected by that colonisation.

it's a story about love and inevitability and odds that will never be conquered it's about the poison of imperialism and how the kindest heart still is eaten away by that poison. it's about the difference between wanting to understand something and wanting to conquer it

it's about tenderness and how it exists in the most hostile places. it's about what people can do at their worst and how they dont need to be at their worst to do their worst

it's about sacrifice- both the willing kind and the kind that imperialism makes for its own benefit.

but most of all i think it's a tribute. it's about saying we remember you. and we are telling your story. warts and all. because we want to remember you as you were. not as an idealized fantasy but as the people you were.
