Nowhere Land focuses on Bonnie Ammaaq and her family as they remember the vastness and irreplaceable richness of living on the land. When the family relocates to Igloolik, they face the confines modern society can impose and how colonial practises have displaced many people's connection to the land as they integrate into the community. This short film explores the experiences of a deep and unbreakable familial connection to Land as home.
