BOSTON — It’s not an easy movie to watch: Hunters clubbing seals to death and bloodying the otherwise pristine ice of the Canadian Arctic. “Huntwatch” is directed by renowned animal rights activist Brant Backlund and narrated by “Deadpool” actor Ryan Reynolds, a Canadian. It was screened earlier this year at film festivals in New York; Boulder, Colorado; Newport Beach, California; and Middlebury, Vermont. “The Canadian seal hunt is a very complicated issue with no easy answer.”RelatedAnother challenge: Toning down the gore. Branon and Moos found much of it in the cellar around 2009 as they were consolidating their archives on Cape Cod.
