Living Waters is a journey through the Inuit way of life, rooted in the Arctic. David Nanuk, an elder from the Taloyoak community, repairs a stone fishing dam and passes on his knowledge, just as he received it from his ancestors.

James Simonee, an Inuit hunter from Pond Inlet, Nunavut, investigates the impacts of one of Nunavut’s largest mines on traditional lands near his community.

Tim is a young father living in Pond Inlet, Nunavut. As his grandfather did before, he wants to start his own research to study water quality to benefit its community. Tim embarks on an inspiring journey that will lead to empowerment and cultural revitalization. The experience becomes an awakening for Tim and his team, a wind of change and adaptation for the community challenging the modern reality of the Canadian Arctic.

On the Magdalen Islands, during the short lobster season, fishermen and plant workers ensure the economic prosperity of an entire people. In the reality of a global market driven by the United States, the fragility of the fishing industry is palpable, as is the future of seafaring and island culture.
