In a small Arctic town struggling with the highest suicide rate in North America, a group of Inuit students' lives are transformed when they are introduced to the sport of lacrosse.

With "sealfies" and social media, a new tech-savvy generation of Inuit is wading into the world of activism, using humour and reason to confront aggressive animal rights vitriol and defend their traditional hunting practices. Director Alethea Arnaquq-Baril joins her fellow Inuit activists as they challenge outdated perceptions of Inuit and present themselves to the world as a modern people in dire need of a sustainable economy.

THROAT SONG takes place in the icy landscape of Iqaluit, Nunavut, a small town in the Canadian Arctic. Ippik, a young Inuit woman, is silently suffering from the pains of an abusive relationship. Lost in a community that's been tragically separated from its past, Ippik begins to connect with other victims of violence and seeks to reclaim her voice.

The director goes back to her roots in Pangnirtung, amongst her family and community. It leads her to another journey: to Qipisa, the outpost camp from where they were uprooted.
