Puvirnituq to Montreal

After a flurry of interviews in Puvirnituq last night, we came back to Montreal today.

Reporting and shooting this health series has been an exhilarating and extremely moving experience.

So many people have opened up to us about the health issues in their communities and about the many painful experiences they themselves have overcome, whether it was addiction, abuse or suicide.

It was an honour to meet them all and be able to hear their stories.

We’ll be busy shotlisting, scripting and editing over the next several weeks, but we hope you stay tuned to this space for more details about the upcoming Arctic health series. We look forward to your feedback and comments.
