Written and directed by Nyla Innuksuk, and set in the small arctic coastal town of Pangnirtung, Nunavut, Slash/Back which premiered at the 2022 SXSW Film Festival, is a multi-genre coming of age action feature showing how one's connection to culture and homeland can give a person the strength to fight back against invaders.
In this episode of Carolyn Talks..., I speak with Nyla and actresses Tasiana Shirley and Nalajoss Ellsworth about how their Inuit heritage, culture and identities helped inform them as creatives, and how the film itself inspired and encouraged them to embrace their roots.
