This week on the Directors Cut Radio Podcast, we’re sitting down with someone you need to know—Anna Lambe, star of Netflix’s new Indigenous drama North of North. You might remember her from The Grizzlies, but in this new role as “Siaja,” Anna brings heart, strength, and a voice that demands to be heard.

We talk about how North of North breaks the mold by putting Indigenous creators, characters, and culture at the center of the story—and why that representation hits so hard. Anna also shares how she brought her own lived experience into the role, and why this project feels different than anything she’s done before.

🎧 Listen now to hear:

  • Why North of North is resonating so deeply with audiences
  • What drew Anna to the role of Siaja
  • How her work in The Grizzlies shaped her performance today
  • What representation means to her, both on-screen and off

Whether you’re a Netflix binger, a film nerd, or just someone who loves hearing from authentic voices in entertainment—this one’s worth your time.
