AlaskaLand

Set in the gorgeous wilderness of Alaska, the 2012 film AlaskaLand tells the story of siblings Chukwuma (Alex Ubokudom) and Chidinma (Chioma Dunkley), who have recently lost both of their parents. Struggling to handle their grief and adjust to their new lives living with their aunt and uncle in Alaska, the pair turn to their love of the arts - Chukwuma through photography and Chidinma through music - to cope.

As a photographer, Chukwuma is constantly exploring the stunning landscape of Alaska, capturing images of the wild animals, rugged terrain, and stunning natural beauty around him. But when he meets the sophisticated and ambitious Adele (Leland B. Martin), he begins to see the world in a new way, and his photography takes on a whole new level of depth and meaning.

As Chukwuma and Adele grow closer, he must navigate their different cultural backgrounds and her complicated family history, all while dealing with his own feelings of grief and loss. Meanwhile, Chidinma becomes increasingly passionate about her music, teaming up with a local band to write and perform original songs that capture the spirit of Alaska itself.

As the siblings pursue their creative passions and work to create new lives in their new home, they both discover unexpected connections and learn to find joy and meaning in the midst of heartbreak and loss.

Throughout the film, the stunning wilderness of Alaska serves as a powerful backdrop for the story, with sweeping mountain vistas, glittering lakes and rivers, and dramatic wildlife encounters creating a sense of awe and wonder. Beautifully shot and expertly directed, AlaskaLand is a moving and heartfelt exploration of grief, creativity, and the power of the natural world to heal and inspire us.
