COMING SOON:
Winter's Yearning
In Maniitsoq, Greenland, the US aluminum giant Alcoa Corporation has been planning to build a smelting plant for years. With the promise of economic renewal, Winter's Yearning follows the lives of the area’s loyal aging population and its stymied youth. Pictured against immense, isolating landscapes, the people await their plant and with it, the nation's possible first step towards sovereignty.

Watch the broadcast premiere of Winter's Yearning on the award-winning PBS television series POV on July 25th at 10:00 p.m. ET (check local listings) on PBS, pbs.org, and the PBS Video app.

“From the very beginning it has been our aim to do everything we could, to work on a micro level, and portray life from within. To tell stories from modern Greenland; allowing people that we rarely meet in the big media landscape to take the floor... Hopefully it will invite viewers to broaden a greater understanding of not only Greenland, but also how it is to be a human being with responsibilities and dependencies no matter where you are situated in the world.”
-Sidse Torstholm Larsen and Sturla Pilskog, co-directors
