Kangiqsualujjuaq is the name of a hamlet in North Quebec that is home to barely 1000 people. Here, there is wilderness for Caribou hunting and endless sea for fishing. Young Kathy has grown up with this place. She lives in and for the community. But she also dreams – with her smart phone in her hand – the same dreams as many young women in the metropolis of Montreal. Jan Sebening
