Uiksaringitara (Wrong Husband)
In observance of Truth and Reconciliation Day, the Capitol is screening the latest film by award-winning Canadian Inuit director Zacharias Kunuk (Atanarjuat the fast runner).
Igloolik, Nunavut, 2000 BCE. Teenage lovers Kaujak (Theresia Kappianaq) and Sapa (Haiden Angutimarik) were promised to each other at birth. After the sudden death of Kaujak’s father, her mother marries a man from another camp, tearing the two apart. The promise of a better life quickly turns to a nightmare, with aggressive suitors backed by an evil shaman vying to win Kaujak’s hand. But Kaujak resists, holding on to hope that Sapa will one day make things right.
