Watch: The Snow Walker 2003 123movies, Full Movie Online – 1953. Charlie Halliday, a former WWII fighter pilot, is a Yellowknife-based bush pilot. Like many of the white in the area, he does not associate with the Inuit except for what he can get out of them in bartering. On a personal plane trip, he runs across a small family of nomadic Inuit. The female of the group, named Kanaalaq, has what Charlie suspects is tuberculosis. In exchange for some ivory, Charlie agrees to fly her to a hospital in Yellowknife. En route back to the city, Charlie is forced to make a crash landing when the plane develops mechanical problems. Although both Charlie and Kanaalaq are unharmed by the crash, the plane is totaled, they are in the middle of nowhere, the radio doesn’t seem to be working, they have a meager amount of supplies, and Charlie’s whereabouts are probably unknown to others since he made a detour from his original route. Furthermore, they can’t communicate with each other as Kanaalaq only knows a few words of English, whereas Charlie knows no Inuktituk. According to his map, Charlie estimates it is one hundred miles to the closest town and decides to walk. He soon learns that he is not well equipped for outdoor life in the north, at least not as well equipped as Kanaalaq, who is in her element. He figures that things can only get worse for both him dealing with the elements and Kanaalaq suffering from her illness as the winter snows approach..

A beautiful movie, a riveting tale of survival
I really liked this riveting tale of survival in the Canadian arctic. Just a great movie, different, and better than I was expecting. It takes place just after the 2nd world war with Barry Pepper playing a cocky bush pilot working in Canada’s north. He is arrogant, brash and still suffering flashbacks (PTSD) from the bomb runs he made during the war.After delivering oil to a remote Inuit community he is asked to transport a young woman to hospital in Yellowknife as she is suffering from (assumed) TB. On the return flight the plane crashes -miles, -hundreds of miles from anywhere. After several temper tantrums and generally being an arse “Charlie” has to rely on “Kanaalaq” and learn to live off the land if they are going to survive and make it back to civilization as winter is fast approaching.
Barry Pepper is excellent here and I should give a mention to Annabella Piugattuk who is equally good. This must have been gruelling to film because they really are in the north, the bugs, extreme climate and bleak, remote landscape. Beautiful too though. I enjoyed watching Pepper’s character grow up and come to terms with himself and what he did in the war. He is so selfish and arrogant in the beginning and slowly comes to peace. A beautiful story. 11/26/14
