The first Inuit bush pilot in Nunavik, Johnny May has lived through adventures worthy of the novels of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. While his exploits have made him a legend among his people, May has also witnessed the twin upheavals of the adoption of sedentary life by the Inuit and the effects of climate change on the north. The Wings of Johnny May is an airborne documentary that sweeps us into the northern skies to discover a unique culture through the eyes of an exceptional man.crossing of the season.
