Attla tells the gripping but little-known story of George Attla, an Alaska Native dogsled racer who, with one good leg and fierce determination, rose to international fame and became a legendary sports hero.
Part dog whisperer, ingenious businessman, and “teenage heartthrob,” George defied characterization during a unique period of history when Western education, economics, and culture penetrated the Alaskan village lifestyle.
