Martha of the North/Martha Qui Vient Du Froid (Home DVD Use Only)
Martha of the North/Martha Qui Vient Du Froid is a feature length film produced for the National Film Board of Canada about the history of the Canadian Government's forced relocation plan for the Inuit. Spurred on by the need to extend Canada's sovereignty over the Arctic, the plan to relocate a few Inuit families from northern Quebec in the 1950s was hatched and implemented. Martha Flaherty, granddaughter of the filmmaker Robert J. Flaherty, wrote this account and tells this powerful narrative of the Inuit and their forced relocation from Inukjuak to Grise Fiord.
