NITV: Nutaraqtariaavituq / Expecting the Child (77 mins), Qaumaniq Films 2013, Director Amélie Breton. Inuktitut w/English s-t. (Images Glacialis Productions)

 

This movie sheds light on a personal, professional and cultural level which entails birthgiving in Inukjuaq, Nunavik.  In January 2005, Phoebe Atagootalook is the first inuit women to officially be approved by the perinatal committee for a homebirth since the 1960’s.  The film follows Phoebe and her family for the two weeks before the birth of her fifth child : Mumlu.  We follow Phoebe’s intention : «to show other Inuit women that they have a choice to give birth wherever they feel like, it’s natural.» Bringing back birth whithin communities is bringing back life in the villages.
