Based on a story called “Walk Well My Brother” by Farley Mowat, “The Snow Walker” takes place in the Northwestern Territories of Canada in 1953 and is about how a man’s journey into an unfamiliar world awakens his vitality. Charlie Halliday (Barry Pepper) is a pilot whose WWII experiences have left him with apparently one priority: have fun. He shoots pool at the local bar, makes love with his girlfriend, and delivers packages via air. En route to an assigned destination, he encounters a sick Inuit girl named Kanaalaq (Annabella Piugattuk) who forever changes his life. For two ivory seal tusks, Charlie agrees to fly her to the nearest town’s hospital. The airplane’s engine fails and dives into a lake. Stuck in the middle of endless grassy hills and scattered rocks, Charlie involuntarily depends upon Kanaalaq’s kindness and knowledge to stay alive. After spending three months with her, Charlie learns to appreciate a culture that he would have otherwise ignored and possibly belittled.
