Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Frobisher Bay (now Iqaluit) was a site of forced Inuit relocation; this 1977 film captures Indigenous filmmakers reclaiming narrative control from government media.
Mosha Michael was among the first Inuit directors to receive funding through the National Film Board's 'Challenge for Change' program—essentially making this a radical act of self-representation during a period of intense colonial surveillance.
