It wasn’t easy getting people to invest in a film about both Nunavut and Africa, but the documentary Circus Without Borders was finally produced and will screen at Iqaluit’s 2015 Alianait Arts Festival this week, the CBC’s Elyse Skura reports. It’s the story of unlikely friends Guillaume Saladin and Yamoussa Bangoura, who both made a difference in their communities by founding circuses. The short film Kajutaijuq:The Spirit That Comes will be presented along with it, on the 29th; you can read more details at the festival site.
