This wonderful comic program features a very unlikely superhero performing daring rescues of children in peril, while teaching both them and us some realities of life in the North. The Super Shamou series has achieved great popularity and a dedicated following in the North and should prove a favourite here in the South as well. The Inuit Broadcasting Corporation is a unique organization that produces original television in five northern communities, then distributes programmes by satellite to viewers all over the North. The director of Super Shamou is one of many Inuit people working at the Baker Lake station.
