The Line She Carries follows Inuk filmmaker and Indigenous Geographic Co-founder Crystal Martin as she reaches a turning point in her life, the end of her childbearing years. In Oolootie’s home, she prepares to receive her traditional tuniit, marking not only her skin but her journey through womanhood, identity, and survival.

Crystal speaks openly about the lasting effects of residential schools and how they attempted to erase Inuit culture, taking from women the right to carry their stories on their faces. Through her tuniit, she reclaims that right. Each line becomes a statement of resistance, a way to honour those who came before and to remind future generations that healing begins when we take back what was ours.
