Greenlands contribution to Nordic Council Film Prize this year, and winner of Nordic Dox Award at CPH:DOX.

Two strong Greenlandic women are united by a shared traumatic past and a chaotic present - one behind bars, the other behind a cool facade. A moving journey for justice, freedom and a second chance at life. Ruth from Greenland has spent almost half her life in prison - the last 12 years in indefinite detention, trapped in a legal limbo between Greenland and Denmark. But one day she meets Nina who is visiting the prison as part of a film project. The meeting is the start of a deep friendship between the two women across the walls. Despite their vastly different life situations, they discover that they share more than they first thought. Slowly, they realize that they can help each other break free from the trauma of the past and the shackles of prison. 'Walls - Akinni Inuk' is a moving and important story about love, human empathy, hope and the struggle for a second chance. Told from a Greenland where the US and Danish politicians don't steal the spotlight and where words like independence and freedom have a completely different ring to them.
