Zacharias Kunuk: Inuk filmmaker Zacharias Kunuk was born in a sod house on the Northwest coast of Baffin Island in what is now Nunavut. As a child he would fall asleep listening to his mother tell stories about his ancestors who have lived on the same island for 4,000 years. Later in his life, he would turn one of those stories into the award winning film Atanarjuat. Zacharias has influenced a generation of young filmmakers and brought the history and stories of the North to an international audience.
