Nunavut Animation Lab: Lumaajuuq

Join us while we read Call to Action #60 and view the 7-minute Indigenous-made film, Nunavut Animation Lab: Lumaajuuq.

Film synopsis: This animated short by Alethea Arnaquq-Baril tells a tragic and twisted story about the dangers of revenge. A cruel mother mistreats her son, feeding him dog meat and forcing him to sleep in the cold. A loon, who tells the boy that his mother blinded him, helps the child regain his eyesight. Then the boy seeks revenge, releasing his mother's lifeline as she harpoons a whale and watching her drown. Based on a portion of the epic Inuit legend "The Blind Boy and the Loon."
