Kivitoo: What They Thought of Us

Kivitoo: What They Thought of Us is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Zacharias Kunuk and released in 2018.[1] The film explores the history of Kivitoo, an Inuit community on Baffin Island whose residents were evacuated in the 1950s due to a temporary safety concern, but who were never able to return to the community following the incident because it was fully demolished by authorities for reasons that have never been publicly confirmed.[1]
