Nance Ackerman

After 30 years as an international documentary photojournalist for the Montreal Gazette, TIME, Canadian Geographic and The Globe and Mail, Nance Ackerman turned her sensitive eye to filmmaking. With a uniquely raw intimacy, her films explore such issues as drug addiction, child poverty, xenophobia and ageing.
