Escaping Alaska

Secret Eskimo Escape Follows a group of young Eskimos as they leave their villages for the first time and secretly escape to San Diego, defying the expectations of their families in order to experience life beyond the harsh realities of Alaska. They are a generation torn between their deep-rooted cultural traditions and the modern, pop-culture of the Lower 48 states. This is their story of independence, survival, adventure and forming a new family. From sharing a first kiss to the Mardi Gras, the culture is a shock and with financial concerns and in-fighting among the group, this may be one journey too far for these brave souls.
