Description

Robert Flaherty (1884-1951) has been credited with being the father of the modern documentary film.  This film presents the complex view of the man and his work. It includes comments from Flaherty himself, as well as his peers, family, and descendants of the people captured in his films - the Inuit, the Samoans, and the people of the Aran Islands, off the western coast of Ireland.

St. Francis Xavier University and Coady Institute stand on the lands of Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded home of the Mi’kmaw. We express our deep gratitude and appreciation to the generations of Mi’kmaw who, since time immemorial, have loved and stewarded these lands and the beings who call them home. Colonization is not just history; it exists in the present tense. While we strive to decolonize ourselves and our University, we know there is still much for us to learn.

We are committed to doing the hard work of self-reflection and to repairing relationships with the Mi’kmaw on whose lands we reside, including embracing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action and embodying their spirit in our plans to move forward with our University.
