Tuktuq

Tuktuq is a Canadian docufiction film from Quebec, directed by Robin Aubert and released in 2016.[1] The film stars Aubert as Martin Brodeur, a cameraman who is sent to a small Inuit village in the Nunavik region of Quebec as part of a government project to film the community, but soon learns that the reason behind the project is that the residents are about to be forcibly displaced as part of a major new hydroelectricity development.[2]
