Nyla Innuksuk on 'The Green Knight'

“Tell me a tale of yourself, so that I might know thee,” King Arthur asks Dev Patel’s Gawain inThe Green Knight (2021). At a time in her life when she was struggling with illness and her own creative ambitions, Nyla Innuksuk heard the question as if she were the one being asked. She’ll tell us all about it – and lots of great behind-the-scenes stories of her tale of Indigenous girls in the Canadian Arctic, SLASH/BACK.

Then, Jordan takes a moment to remember director Jeff Barnaby.
