    Aaju Peter is a force of nature. She is a renowned Greenlandic Inuk lawyer, an activist, who defends the human rights of indigenous peoples of the Arctic, and the fierce protector of her ancestral lands. She works to bring her colonizers in both Canada and Denmark to justice, and deploys her effusive spirit and illuminating wit to provoke self-examination and personal responsibility among Westerners for imposing their colonial ways. As Aaju launches an effort to establish an indigenous forum at the European Union, she also embarks upon a complex and deeply personal journey to mend her own wounds, including the unexpected passing of her youngest son. In this inspiring, emotionally powerful documentary, the beautiful lens of Director Lin Alluna journeys alongside an extraordinary human being as she plumbs through the social and personal wreckage of sanctioned white dominance, to find the strength -- within her abilities, her community, and her own vulnerabilities -- to transform her hardships and painful experiences and into something amazing that can inspire others who also struggle with the poisonous effects of colonialism.
