Jimmy Qirqqut is a fluent Inuktitut speaker who speaks of the difficulty of connecting with the younger generation, who speak "the white man's language". Jimmy never went to residential school and instead grew up on the land - hunting, fishing, and building Iglus as his father taught him.
In the winter of 2019, Reel Youth visited Gjoa Haven, NU and facilitated an intergenerational film program with local youth and Elders. Participants spent time together teaching, learning, and creating short films that celebrate the stories, wisdom, and characters of the Elders.
