Description: Man: a course of study, using the ideas of Jerome S. Brunner, was an educational program that looked to the Canadian Arctic to help American students see their culture in a new way. At the program's core was a benchmark of visual anthropology, the Netsilik Film series, guided by the ethnographer Asen Balikci, capturing a year in the life of a small Inuit community on the cusp of contact. MACOS created a clash of values that rippled throughout the schools of America, and revealed the fragile relationship between politics and educational reform. A weaving together of remarkable archival and contemporary footage. Through these eyes revisits the politics and controversy of this unprecedented era in American educational reform and offers an historical perspective on the study of anthropology.
