Seminar: A Century After Nanook – Documenting Cultural Shifts, Climate Change, and Self-Determination 

 A Century After Nanook is an Emmy-nominated documentary “focused on the drastic environmental and cultural changes that have occurred over the last 100 years in the Inuit village of Inukjuak, the location where Robert Flaherty filmed Nanook of the North from 1920-1921.” Including interviews and snapshots of daily life, much of the documentary was produced by members of the community.
