David Borish is a social and health researcher who uses film and photography to explore and understand relationships between humans and the environment. He has worked with Indigenous communities across the world on storytelling projects, including in Malaysia, Nepal, Peru, and Kenya. More recently, David has been working with Inuit from the Nunatsiavut and NunatuKavut regions of Labrador, Canada, to document and communicate their relationship with caribou, all through community-based documentary film. In this presentation, you will hear directly from Inuit voices what caribou mean for Inuit culture, food security, mental health, and other aspects of well-being. David will also discuss what it is like to create a film in partnership with Inuit communities.
