Ethan Pogue is a writer, photographer, and documentary-filmmaker from small-town Ontario. His visual storytelling uses domestic ethnography to explore themes of identity, family, and home.

His film, If a Flower Bloomed, is an experimental documentary that focuses on the cleanup of radioactive waste in his home-town, Port Hope, Ontario. Shot from a personal perspective, the film addresses the slow violence perpetuated by the nuclear industry while exploring themes of intergenerational memory, denial, and the paradox of salvation. It will be screened at Paradise Theatre as a part of Doc Now 2026.
