Her documentaries deal with themes such as health, life at work, the new job market for women, the life of Indigenous people, etc. In 2003, she directed the documentary Se donner corps et âme which deals with the difficult conditions of today's working world; overload and precariousness. In 2006, she co-directed with Jason Brennan and Joséphine Bacon the documentary series Tshinanu which demonstrates the vitality of First Nations communities. She has directed many other documentaries on Aboriginal realities, social inequalities and the status of women.
