The series "Arctic Chronicle" and its Inuit humor have conquered Canada and the world

The most-watched series in the history of Canadian public streaming platform CBC Gem, the comedy Arctic Chronicle remains in the top 10 most-watched series worldwide right now on Netflix and has exceeded the expectations of broadcasters: Canadian national channel CBC, the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network and the giant Netflix.

The work depicts the adventures of Siaja (Anna Lambe), a young Inuk woman who decides to leave her self-centered husband, the impossible "King Ting," the town's star hunter, to embrace her own life, made up of sentimental (sometimes indigestible) roller coasters, family enigmas, and challenges to overcome in each episode. She fumbles, then ends up establishing herself as the rock 'n' roll keystone of the community, against a postcard-perfect Arctic backdrop: pristine expanses and bright blue skies.

The success of the series, created and written by two Inuit producers and writers, Stacey Aglok MacDonald and Alethea Arnaquq-Baril, is a testament to the challenge of filming for several months in Nunavut. Filming in the Far North is not recommended for those with an appetite for the unexpected. A film crew had to be kept outside for long hours in minus 25°C weather, and the blizzard delayed the shipment of costumes.
