Nose and Tina is a Canadian short documentary film, directed by
Bailey was inspired to contact the couple and make the film after reading an article about the arrest in the newspaper.[2]
The film was made in 1980, and had its theatrical premiere in Winnipeg in 1981.[2]
Larry Krotz of The Globe and Mail wrote that "Miss Bailey has dealt competently with a tough subject. Competently, but not spectacularly. The documentary form is simultaneously the film's great strength and its weakness. There is strength in the authenticity of the movie; these are real people quite courageously, if a bit self-consciously, playing themselves. However, since Nose and Tina are living their own lives, Miss Bailey can't give them a script. Thus while there are moments of warmth, the moments of insight are few."[1]
The film won the award for Best Documentary Under 30 Minutes, and Bailey won Best Director of a Documentary, at the Bijou Awards in October 1981.[3]
In 1995 Bailey released The True Story of Linda M., a sequel film which expanded on Migwams's life since the original film.[4]
