Nirilaurta

Directed by Malaya Qaunirq Chapman
Written by Marie-Hélène Cousineau and Malaya Qaunirq Chapman

On the edge of the Arctic Ocean, the community of Taloyoak, Nunavut, is working to feed its families. Soaring grocery prices and the high cost of hunting and travel in the North leave many households facing food insecurity. Nirilaurta tells the story of a community that draws on Inuit culture, land-based knowledge and kinship to nourish their bodies, spirits and one another.
