"In the early 1980s, television arrived in Iglulik, NU, after much hesitancy from residence concerned over the primarily English-language content. It was in this environment that both Isuma, and later Arnait Video Productions were formed to capture, document, and present a distinctly local Inuit worldview. In this Feature, the revolutionary impact of both collectives is explored through their diverse bodies of work that, together, have significantly contributed to the revitalization of culture and language by harnessing the power of film to retain, recall and preserve collective memory."
