Chronique Arctique

Earnest, fresh, engaging show that showcases the beauty and challenges of Northern life through unique, contemporary Inuit-centered stories. Lots of heart while also quirky and hilarious. I'm really rooting for Siaja - she's messy, funny, driven, beautiful, whip-smart and resourceful... It was very easy to fall in love with her, her family and community. There was obvious thought and care put in every aspect of the production, it gives the show a very believable feel - this doesn't feel like a folklorized, frozen (pun!) -in-time version of Nunavut, rather a real, current place. I don't doubt it will boost interest in tourism and fashion from the region (the characters wear some truly gorgeous items of clothing and jewelry!!). Streamed on CBC gem every Tuesday and sad I'll have to wait a while for more - because there will be more, right?!
