The historic establishment of the northernmost mosque in the western hemisphere.

 

Synopsis

A little mosque overcomes great odds during its 4000 km (2500 mile) journey by road and river from the prairie city of Winnipeg to the small arctic town of Inuvik where a community eagerly awaits it.  How will the town of Inuvik respond to its newest addition?  The mosque represents a new phase for Inuvik Muslims; it symbolizes settlement, a sense of permanence and a carving out of identity.
