A Greenland Story

10.35PM, RTÉ ONE ★★★★ Here is a gentle and relaxing documentary, bordering on ‘slow TV’, that nevertheless poses serious and salient questions about traditions and modern life: are the two mutually exclusive? Along the west coast of Greenland in the summer of 2019, a place with no roads connecting its coastal communities, a humble boat and its Irish crew move quietly in the background, giving rare access to remote villages up into the Arctic Circle. There are clear benefits of modernising for some of the communities, but would the cultural costs be too high a price to pay?
