Inkster's work often experiments with narrative while exploring the complexities of identify, which stem in part, from her experiences as a black, queer, feminist.[1] Her first film, Welcome to Africville, was released in 1999.[3] In 2008, her film 24 Days in Brooks, which documents a 2005 labour strike at Lakeside Packers,[6] won an Alberta Motion Picture Industry Award for best production reflecting cultural diversity.[5] The film examines the lives of recent immigrant workers drawn to Brooks by numerous entry-level, unskilled labour jobs.[7]
Inkster has directed a television ad in a Canadian Race Relations Foundation anti-racism campaign.[8]
She has won the best Canadian female film director prize from the Toronto Images Film Festival. The Art of Autobiography was awarded Best Short or Medium-length Documentary by the Association of Quebec Cinema Critics.[2]
