I Love Alaska is a 2009 documentary chronicling the AOL search history of "user 711391," whose searches are narrated by a monotone female voiceover. [1] The film was produced by Submarine Channel and released episodically in 2009 before being uploaded to stream for free on Minimovies.org. [2]

Plot

Only glimpsing the life of a user through her search history, a middle-aged woman from Texas looks to rejuvenate her intimate life and dreams of life in Alaska. [3]

Structure

The film is broken into 13 episodes, each running between 3 and 6 minutes long. A voiceover reads aloud the searches of user 711391 in chronological order, indicated by a timestamp at the bottom of the screen. Each episode is accompanied by a steady shot of Alaska (e.g., a mountain range, a log cabin, a highway).
