Zacharias Kunuk: Inuk filmmaker Zacharias Kunuk was born in a sod house on the Northwest coast of Baffin Island in what is now Nunavut. As a child he would fall asleep listening to his mother tell stories about his ancestors who have lived on the same island for 4,000 years. Later in his life, he would turn one of those stories into the award winning film Atanarjuat. Zacharias has influenced a generation of young filmmakers and brought the history and stories of the North to an international audience. Filmmaker Bio: Barbara Todd Hager is a writer, producer and director. Her family traces its Métis ancestry to Red River, Fort Pitt and St. Paul des Métis Settlements. In 1999 she launched Aarrow Productions and it has grown into one of Canada's leading Indigenous-owned media companies.
