Greenland possesses enormous, largely untapped mineral wealth. The future may look bright, but at what price? Are the Greenlanders willing to abandon age-old traditions and customs that make them unique, but may also hinder their future? In Qaqortoq, Karine sets out with chef Salik .

His niece, Avaaraq, is fighting against the opening of a mine there.
