Johnny May landing a Beech-18 float plane, twin engine, with St. Felicien Air Services, 1970. May was flying American David Rockefeller of Chase Manhattan Corporation around Nunavik for a couple of weeks. and was asked if he was in more than two plane crashes, to which he diplomatically answered, “No!” Aside from documenting Johnny’s life, the film does a great job of providing a basic understanding of how Inuit in Nunavik have gone from igloo to iPad in less than 50 years. Difficult chapters in Canadian and Quebec relations are included, such as residential schools, moving from nomadic igloos and tents to permanent housing, the dog slaughters, the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement, and modern life as most Nunavimmiuit know it today. The film also describes the major influences in Johnny’s life – his dad, siblings, wife, children and grandchildren, and especially the land. The shots of Nunavik go straight to the heart and soul, with vistas of endless lakes or frozen tundra lit up by a blazing sun. Although the voiceover says at the beginning that Nunavik is one of the most inhospitable places on earth for humans to live, the beauty of the land makes a lie of that statement. The extended May family – like many in Nunavik – have a camping spot to call their own called Black Point. It’s there that all the troubles of life melt away and there where family memories are made. It’s there where annual candy drop plotting takes place, for the benefit of all Kuujjuamiut. The Guinness World Records website has the tagline “Officially Amazing” on the top of the home page. There’s no doubt Johnny’s exploits over the five decades of the candy drop are amazing. Johnny says he hasn’t been approached by Guinness. The online process to apply for a record is $5.00, and once submitted it can take up to 12 weeks for the Guinness World Record fact checkers to review it. Now that would put Kuujjuaq on the map. “For me, doing the candy drop has been a way of life,” says Johnny. He’s made a profound contribution to the community of Kuujjuaq and beyond.
