I Was Born There: Torngat Mountains National Park

I Was Born There powerfully illustrates the experience of visiting the park and explores the cultural significance of this special place.
Completely unscripted but beautifully expressive, the film features the stories and experiences of real visitors to the park and is grounded in the voices of Inuit who have lived in, and traveled on, the lands of the park for generations.

    I graduated from College with a diploma in information systems and lived in a city in NewBrunswick. I was brought up in the woods and on a river so I always needed my weekly fix of it so at the same time as my information system career I ran my own snow blowing company in winter and did some logging in the summer. It was all great but it never satisfied my sense of adventure but I continue to support my family. I am now semi retired, my kids are now adult and on their own so I have a sense of freedom that I don't want to waste. I was looking at the Yukon and found this. I think my next Journey just might be the Yukon or one of the Northern territories.

    Amazing film, thank you. Though I grew up in Western Labrador, I set my second novel in the Torngat Mountains. If anyone is interested in a northern adventure yarn that features Labrador history/facts as well, please check out Torngat by J. Richard Wright on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca. Happy reading...Richard

    it's simple to understand how indigenous peoples survived polar bears in areas such as the Torngat. Humans operate as a collective, where polar bears operate in adult groups of only one. One on one a polar bear would easily ravage a human, but one polar bear verses a group of armed humans...there's no contest.

    Hi! Thank you for your message. Information about drone use at Parks Canada administered locations can be found here parks.canada.ca/voyage-travel/regles-rules/drones. This page includes information about permitted uses and related permitting. The risks and impacts of drone flight vary depending on time/season and location; therefore, each application is evaluated separately.
