[4][5] When the High Arctic relocation occurred in 1959, Idlout helped Inuit families adjust to their new surroundings in Resolute, Northwest Territories (now Nunavut).

In 1954, due to the lack of foxes in the Pond Inlet area, Idlout requested that he move to Resolute.

At the time Idlout was living in Pond Inlet and was known for his ability as a hunter and leader at the camps.

In the one-hour documentary, Idlout's son, Peter Paniloo takes viewers on a journey through his father's life.

[9] Between Two Worlds is a continuation of Idlout's life after the making of Land of the Long Day until his death in 1968, when he drove a snowmobile over a cliff after drinking at the Royal Canadian Air Force base.
