内容简介:我们认为北极是最质朴的原始荒原,当科学家去因纽特人聚居处收集母乳时,他们希望找到地球上最纯净的母乳。但是结果让人大失所望,因纽特人的母乳竟然含有从南方流动过来的化学物质。
《无形的伤害》讲述的是人为的化学物质如何积聚在人的身体内,并通过母体传递给婴儿。科学家人为,这种扰乱荷尔蒙的物质正严重地伤害着这个地球人类和动物的繁殖系统和神经系统。他们找遍了全世界,找不到一个母乳里没有这些化学物质的母亲。
在这部美丽又发人深省的影片,艺术家、导演罗兹•莫蒂姆带领我们进行一次高纬度北极圈的神秘之旅。运用中世纪的地图、历史文本和第一人称现在时的叙述,莫蒂姆探索了因纽特人与地球之间的传统关系,并温和地挑战西方人与科学和知识之间的关系。
本片充满诗情画意,在视觉上极具冲击力,它把当代因纽特人史诗般的生活图景与让人震惊叹息的表演融合在一起,并在冰封的北极风景之内建造了生动精彩的舞台。

Brief Synopsis:
We think of the Arctic as a pristine wilderness, and when scientists went to collect breast milk from Inuit mothers, they were expecting to find the purest milk anywhere on earth. But the levels went off the scale. The milk of the Inuit mothers was loaded with chemicals migrating from the south.
INVISIBLE tells the story of how man-made chemicals are building up in our bodies and being passed from mother to child. Scientists think that these hormone-disrupting substances are causing havoc with the reproductive systems and neurological health of animals and humans across the planet. And they cannot find a single woman anywhere in the world who does not have these chemicals in her breast milk.
In this beautiful and thought-provoking film, artist and film maker Roz Mortimer leads us on a hypnotic journey to the High Arctic. Using medieval maps, historical texts and contemporary first person accounts, Mortimer explores the traditional relationship Inuit have to the earth and gently challenges our Western relationship to science and knowledge.
This poetic and visually stunning film weaves epic scenes of contemporary Inuit life with startling throatsinging performances and staged tableaux vivants set within the frozen Arctic landscape.
