Fantastic, beautiful documentary. Un documentaire de haut niveau. C"est très bien ficelé. J'ai aimé voir mes amis Phillipe, Jean-Marc et Cynthia. Vous avez bien fait ça.
I'm watching this from my dorm room (its way too late in the night, tomorrow is gonna be a rough day), in one of the two mines mentioned in the documentary. It was already amazing to recognize colleagues i work with and places and i get to visit and literally live at half of the year... its was even more awesome to see the faces and hear the voices of those living around that we never get to see or hear. I'm not gonna dox myself or do free PR for my employer (they can afford it themselves) but let's just say that, although its not everybody here (heck this is the mining industry and its workers we're talking about), some people (and its growing) do really and sincerely care about taking care of this land and mitigating the impacts we have on it.
The powers at be already made plenty of decisions many many years ago. As long as there is a "want" for the resources I doubt much will really stop the Big Machine
I'm really looking forward to seeing how this documentary is going to handle the potential Iron Ore mine in Aupaluk, which I genuinely believe would be horrible for the village and Nunavik as a whole. I'll be following up afterwards.
This was an excellent, balanced film....and it left the viewer both with hope, and with the knowledge needed to push back against the powerful interests that eye Nunavik with greedy lust. I especially appreciated the call to Inuit youth, to both educate themselves and to stand up and protect what is theirs to borrow of their children....the land itself. A moratorium is essential in the short run....and no mining at all without full partnership should move forward in Nunavik. There is no rush to extract....because the minerals aren't going anywhere....but there is a rush to defend the land.
The sad truth is they did not have the power to hold their land and it is not theirs anymore and never will be again.. population of humanity is too high and their population is too low for the amount of land. That's the story of humanity
Something like this being free on TH-cam is just phenomenal! Thank you for this great documentary
Its free because its knowledge, its to be passed on to tomorrow's generations of our people

Thrilled to see the finished product!!!
Hi Liz! Thanks for tuning in!
I just watched this on the Vimeo preview. It is a powerful film, and should lead to greater understandings on both sides. Very well done.
Thank you for the kind words! Please share it with your folks!
Nice to hear from the youth, great documentaire. Wish I could work there .
❤ magnifiques images ! Documentaire très intéressant. On a bcp à apprendre de leur histoire!!,
I agree with Julia St-Aubin "the needs are not the mining jobs, needs are self sustaining businesses" "Mining is not the solution".

Makivvik produced a film specifically on the Aupaluk project, so we do not address that mine directly in our film.
This was an excellent, balanced film....and it left the viewer both with hope, and with the knowledge needed to push back against the powerful interests that eye Nunavik with greedy lust.

I cannot wait
See you soon!
