Musician, author and outspoken activist, the multi-talented Inuit artist Tanya Tagaq is also an electric performer, plunging her audiences into a trance state through her experimental, highly physical form of throat singing. Filmmaker Chelsea McMullan sets out to capture this visceral experience by teaming up with the singer in a feverish, immersive, multisensory documentary project that intersperses thrilling concert footage with sequences filmed in Nunavut. Portrait of an engaged and engaging woman who’s fiercely protective of her family, and an artist whose relationship to music is as powerful as her connection to nuna, the land.
