Description:
For a century, the traditional face tattoos of the Inuit people have been banned and largely forgotten. Director Alethea Arnaquq-Baril and activist Aaju Peter set out to rediscover the history and significance of this ancient art form. Traveling through Arctic communities, they interview elders and document the stories of a practice once widely practiced by women. The film also explores Arnaquq-Baril's personal conflict about getting tattooed herself. With honesty and humor, she shares her experiences, revealing the complex emotions involved in her journey toward self-discovery and cultural connection.
