Aha Moment: TV On The North Slope

Studio 360

Filmmaker Andrew Okpeha MacLean is from an Inuit family in Barrow, Alaska. When TV was introduced to the North Slope, it began to decimate the Inupiaq language. Now he’s making films that bring that language to the world beyond the Arctic. Produced by Anna Boiko-Weyrauch.
