Two Old Women

Two old women are part of a migrating Athabaskan Indian tribe during a harsh Arctic winter. The people are starving, and the two old women are abandoned by the group.

But the two women don't just sit down in the snow and die. Instead, they struggle to make their way to an old camp they remember as being flush with animals from the past, and with unexpected resolve and determination, the two women build a shelter from the freezing cold, hunt and store food, and make warm mittens and clothing from the skins of the animals they kill.

It's a wonderful story. I was rooting for the women the entire time and they proved themselves to be worthy every step of the way during their trials in the Arctic.
