One Day In the Life of Noah Piugattuk
Kapuivik, north Baffin Island, 1961. Noah Piugattuk’s nomadic Inuit band live and hunt by dogteam, just as his ancestors did when he was born in 1900. When the white man known as Boss arrives in camp, what appears as a chance meeting soon opens up the prospect of momentous change.

Yes, we occasionally feature fiction films on the platform, as long as it relates to characters, situations, or themes that are anchored in reality. In this case, it is a film based on true events. The real Noah Piugattuk was born in 1900 and lived to be 96 years old.
Here, director Zacharias Kunuk, a prolific Inuit filmmaker and a true pioneer of Indigenous cinema in Canada, takes us back 60 years and depicts a simple meeting with catastrophic consequences for the Inuit people. As a representative of the Canadian government arrives and extends his hand to his interlocutors, the ever moving camera, reminiscent of Kunuk's documentary heritage, gravitates around what will become the ground zero of Inuit independence, at least for the people of Igloolik, and their very own big bang that will forever change the life of this nomadic people.
