Twice Colonized is a documentary film, directed by Lin Alluna and released in 2023.[1] A coproduction of companies from Canada, Denmark and Greenland, the film profiles Aaju Peter, an Inuk lawyer and activist who has lived in both Greenland and Nunavut, profiling both her lifelong fight for justice for Inuit peoples and the personal struggles and traumas she dealt with along the way.[2]
The film premiered in January 2023 at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.[3] It had its Danish premiere in March as the opening film of the 2023 CPH:DOX film festival,[4] and its Canadian premiere in April as the opening film of the 2023 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival.[5]
At the 12th Canadian Screen Awards in 2024, the film won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Feature Length Documentary,[6] and Alary and Malfatti were nominated for Best Original Music in a Documentary.[7]
The film was broadcast by CBC Television on September 13, 2023, as the season premiere of the documentary series The Passionate Eye.[8]
