Documentary featuring U.P. is reviewed in the Stranger

You may have already heard about Northern Light, a recent documentary filmed in the U.P. It's reviewed here by Seattle alt-weekly The Stranger, interestingly by someone who grew up in Michigan.

 

Excerpt: Northern Light isn't a documentary about the Upper Peninsula culture in itself. Instead, it's a humble and quietly thoughtful piece of cinéma vérité that follows three families who are connected to one another by their shared participation in an annual competitive snowmobile race (and never once does the word "Yooper" get uttered).
