About the film:
Mixing scenes from the past and present, My Father’s Land (Attatama Nunanga) looks at the meanings between Inuit history and modern mining in North Baffin Island. It explores how internet and new media can be used to inform and consult Inuit as the Nunavut Impact Review Board (NIRB) holds Final Public Hearings on Baffinland’s Mary River proposal to build the world’s largest iron mine on Inuit land between Igloolik and Pond Inlet.
