The Netflix comedy series North Of North, created by Inuit filmmakers Stacey Aglok MacDonald and Alethea Arnaquq-Baril, is largely filmed in Iqaluit, Nunavut, showcasing contemporary Inuit culture through the story of Siaja, a young woman seeking independence from her dominating husband in her Arctic hometown. The eight-episode series, filled with dry humor, features local talent, Inuit designs, and traditional music, aiming to provide insight into life in the challenging environment of Nunavut. With a fresh perspective and hopes for a second season, it reveals the daily realities and social dynamics of small Inuit communities.
