The Inquiry Film: A Report on the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Jesse Nishihata and released in 1977.[1] The film explored the First Nations perspective on Thomas R. Berger's Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry of the mid-1970s.[1]
CBC Television aired the film in its entirety the day before the release of Berger's report, one of the first times that it ever broadcast a documentary film which it had not exercised direct editorial control during the filmmaking process.[1]
The film won the Canadian Film Award for Best Feature Length Documentary in 1977.[2]
