Synopsis
The story of George Attla – Alaska Native dog musher.

Returning home, he faces the challenges of a fused knee and cross cultural conflict, and goes on to become a champion sprint dog musher – the “Huslia Hustler” of Alaska legend. “Spirit of the Wind” is the winner of numerous awards including the Grand Prize at the 1979 Sundance Film Festival, and was an official Un Certain Regard selection at the Cannes Film Festival. $15 Part of the proceeds will benefit Alaska Moving Image Preservation Association and the Doyon Foundation, 501 (c)(3) non-profit organizations.
