In 1896 stranden drie walvisvaarders in het noorden van Canada en zij zoeken onderdak bij een eskimostam. Na verloop van tijd voelen ze zich steeds meer thuis in het eskimodorp en ze introduceren drank, gokken en diefstal. Aanvankelijk accepteren de eskimo's dit allemaal, maar er ontstaat steeds meer weerstand tegen deze manier van leven en zij verlangen terug naar hun oude leven.
Nee, helaas is The White Dawn nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
