Hello everyone,
Thanks Luke! It was a pleasure to meet you!
i'm from greenland. we have high rates of suicide because of the lack of mental health facilities and also activites for kids and teenagers. this is also why crime rate is high, people have nothing else to do.
"We don't have to talk about this if you don't want to." Thank you for caring about the people you interview.
I loved how sincere the creator of this film was. He could immediately pick up on the sadness of the gentleman despite his smiles. What an amazing soul.
it’d be amazing if you could return him the favor and travel to your homecity with him and show him how different the world can be
I grew up in Alaska, this resonates a lot, the dark winters, the cold, nothing to do and many turn to drinking and it spirals from there. I think people who haven't lived in these kinds of places struggle to understand how much an effect constant darkness can have.
I like your interviewing style. You dont dominate the filming. You let the environment and its people speak for themselves.
Vittus is so gentle and caring! Literally cried on the sad scene 😭 These people deserve more happiness and joy

As someone who struggles with seasonal depression, I can see why people who live in cold and dark places may feel a lot more depressed than others. Even when I feel absolutely awful, standing outside in the sun has always helped, even if just a tiny bit. I can't imagine what it's like to live in such a secluded and dark area
What a kind soul this man is. I hope his environment doesn’t consume him someday. I truly hope he finds happiness again
I saw this vlog several months back. The pain and depression of this person has been kind of permanently etched in my mind. Every once in a while his words pop-up in my mind. I just want to say to the people living in such harsh conditions especially the person in the video that sir you are not alone. You have now a new friend thanks to this young vlogger. I can't do much but I request you to please never forget that people like me are with you in your journey of life. God bless everyone. Keep fighting. You are a hero.
theres such a sad energy coming from the whole town, you can tell how it's a constant cycle. being that the population is so small, probably every single person that inhabits it knows at least one person who has committed suicide :( they continue despite carrying that grief, i cant even imagine the guilt of wanting to move away but cant because your whole family lives there, or you know someone who's died there and you don't want to leave them be. It may be a beautiful place, but it carries such sad stories
mate the way you share humanity. It's just stunning
as a 17 year old girl sitting in her dark room watching this at 4 AM, I needed this. It touched my heart.
Lack of sunshine + cold weather is a recipe for sadness. It's quite prevalent here in Canada as well.
This shows that you could be in the most beautiful place in the world, but if you feel lonely and isolated there, in the end it means nothing. Rest In Peace to everyone who lived there.
"Just talk about feelings." It sounds so simple but it is actually the root of a lot of male depression. Talking about your feelings isn't weak and it isn't pathetic. It's actually one of the hardest things you can do. It takes balls to be able to open up and speak about how you feel.
I truly think that it’s wonderful that you went to visit Vittus & his family! I’m sure that brought him a lot of joy and happiness as well as wonderful memories! Seasonal affective disorder can lead to serious depression in regions where the sun doesn’t shine very often. I experienced it when I lived in northeastern Pennsylvania, in the winter time -it was awful. Days and days would go by and you would not see the sun. I’ve lived in Florida now for the past 26 years and I can tell you that sunshine brings happiness to your spirit.
