Arming the Arctic serves as a conventional geopolitical documentary focusing on international security and systemic power dynamics. The narrative prioritizes factual reporting on militarization and territorial shifts over character-driven identity exploration. Because the film centers on state actors and military hierarchies, it naturally leans towards traditional institutional frameworks, resulting in a lack of representation for LGBTQ+ identities and non-traditional gender roles. While the Arctic's Indigenous populations are central to the region's context, the film's focus on high-level geopolitics may limit their ability to act. The work observes institutional shifts rather than deconstructing social hierarchies.

How racially and ethnically diverse is Arming the Arctic?
