Stuck between two worlds in the small community of Igluligaarjuk, Nunavut, Kumaa’naaq (koo-MAT-na),

a seasoned Inuk translator skillfully navigates dealings between Inuit and the RCMP.

The Words We Can’t Speak is a drama inspired by lived experiences that shares the story of one woman’s silent determination to keep those she loves safe and to preserve that which she holds most dear. The film is written and will be directed and produced by Lindsay McIntyre along with producer Katrina Beatty (I Think, I Do; Before I Changed My Mind) and executive producer, Carol Whiteman (Rustic Oracle; Red Snow).
