Qanuq Isumavit? Phone-In (What Do You Think?)

IBC's only live production, the phone-in show Qanuq Isumavit? enables the northern audience to discuss current issues and events in detail. Topics cover a wide range of "things on people's minds" -- parenting, health care, language, Inuit knowledge, climate change, sled dog slaughter and other important topics. The phone-in show runs weekly airing for 90 minutes and is for the 18 to 60 age group. Language: Inuktitut.

This video is one of a series of clips showcasing TV productions by the Inuit Broadcasting Corporation (IBC) in Nunavut, Canada over the last 30 years. The series of clips are linked on IBC's Nunavut Media Arts Centre (NMAC) fundraising website "Sanavallianiq Isumagijaujunut -- Building for Dreams" launched in September 2012: www.Sanavallianiq.ca or www.Building4Dreams.ca -- Donate Today!

We are raising $8.5 million for this building which will house IBC's production operations, including updated equipment to keep pace with the industry, a studio, film archives and more. The building will also be available to other film, performing, and media artists and organizations in and outside of Nunavut.

The video clips include some past programs and the following programs currently broadcast in the Inuit language (with English subtitles or overdubs) on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN):

Takuginai (Look Here) -- a show for kids

Qanurli? (What's Next?) -- a youth show

Niqitsiat (Healthy Food) -- a cooking show

Ilinniq (Learning) -- a show with profiles of interesting Inuit

Qanuq Isumavit? (What Do You Think?) -- a live phone-in show
