Directed by Lin Alluna, English, 1 hour and 31 minutes, Denmark, 2023

Join us in screening Twice Colonized as part of the annual Women Take The Reel Film Festival. 

Renowned Inuit lawyer Aaju Peter has led a lifelong fight for the rights of her people. But while launching an effort to establish an Indigenous forum at the European Union, Aaju finds herself facing a difficult, personal journey to mend her own wounds after the unexpected passing of her son. In this “powerful exploration of cultural trauma” (The Film Stage), director Lin Alluna follows alongside Aaju Peter as she strives to reclaim her language and identity after a lifetime of whitewashing and forced assimilation.


The screening will take place on March 15, 2024 at 6:00 PM. It is followed by a Q&A discussion with renowned Inuit lawyer, Aaju Peter. Light refreshments will be served.

This event is free and open to the public.  You must register to attend.
