Okpik's Dream is a Canadian documentary film, released in 2015. The film centres on Harry Okpik, an Inuk man from Quaqtaq, who witnessed a government slaughter of Inuit sled dogs as a child and later lost his leg in a hunting accident, and now prepares to compete as a dog musher in the 600 km Ivakkak sled dog race in Nunavik.
The film had select film festival screenings, but was distributed primarily as a CBC Television special which aired in August 2015 as an episode of the regional documentary series Absolutely Canadian.
The film won a Community Award from the 2015 First Peoples' Festival in Montreal, and was a nominee for Best Documentary Program at the 4th Canadian Screen Awards.
