Plot.

In 1919, a film crew set out on an epic journey across Canada's North. Over the course of six months, their expedition traveled by icebreaker, canoe, and dog sled, capturing the Canadian fur trade in a silent feature documentary. The Romance of the Far Fur Country was released in 1920, two years before the legendary film Nanook of the North. Rediscovering the documentary in a British archive, another film crew begins a journey to resurrect the lost film, taking it to the communities where the film was originally shot. Images come to life; people recognize faces, landscapes, and lost traditions.

Wiki.

On the Trail of the Far Fur Country is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Kevin Nikkel and released in 2014. The film documents the 2012 screening tour of Nikkel and Peter Geller's restored version of the 1920 film The Romance of the Far Fur Country.

Although considered a lost film for many years, film historian Peter Geller found the original raw footage of The Romance of the Far Fur Country in the British Film Institute archives in 1996. It was then transferred to the Hudson's Bay Company archives, where Geller and Nikkel worked to reconstruct the film, before undertaking a screening tour in 2012 under the title Return of the Far Fur Country, both in major Canadian cities and in the smaller First Nations and Inuit communities where the original film had been shot.The film won the Colin Low Award at the 2015 DOXA Documentary Film Festival.
