  • I absolutely love this song. Does anyone know what it is called?

  • sick trickshot

  • we are now uncovering the remains of those who did NOT survive the incarceration into Indian Residential Schools ... of the policy of kidnap, torture, rape (aka assimilation) - over 50,000 children did NOT survive ... the bones are coming up broken, and cut up into pieces, mixed with animal bones ... Canada is ONE HUGE PICKTON FARM, containing the remains of over 50,000 children!

  • The Canadian Government forgot to list those Devils on there most wanted list ,just as \war criminals are being made Virial on social media.I lost respect and forgiveness of the Vatican and its memebers 10 years ago when the stories first came out first hand from my freinds.I would not repeat them out of respect for those who are too devestated to tell themselves.

  • Watching this in geography right now for our first nations unit.

  •  Very sad film I feel sorry for all the first nations who went to those horrible residential schools

  • Does anybody know what song is playing in the trailer? I can't seem to identify it... I'm beginning to think it's either not well known or was scored specifically for the film.

  • @thevaulttony

    Hi there. This song was scored specifically for the documentary by Fabio Sartori... He has a band called "picturesound" - He did an amazing job on the score and his is Toronto based, indie - british invasion inspired - just awesome!

  • i remember seeing that guy. the first one that talked in the interview. he said I gave him a strong presence. Im a film maker. but im grateful he said that..I actually gave a residential school student a presence. but i've watched this doc before, and i think its a great documentary

  • whoa,,, that suprised me, that las closed in -96?! It´s amazing, how long they could do that kind of thing, so called "land of freedom".. prays and blessings and strength to all american natives.

  • ..sorry, wrote too hurry, this seems be in Canada? Meant about "land of freedom" comment USA. but anyway, great film.

  • Comment removed

  • Nadia,

    we watched this movie in our Indigenous Studies film and i thought it was amazing

    thank you for telling this story

  • u suk

  • i dont think ppl have a motive to be racist to aboriginal ppl...i just kno that they r. recently, theyve been asking for their land back, that is, the land that they lost to europeans back wen the Indian act was signed and canada became a confederation. do u honestly think theytre going to get anything...even though the land is technically theirs b4 colonies and smallpox, etc.?

  • This is a great film. To those who are saying "forgive and forget": it is hard to forget something that is continuing to happen. Granted residential schools have been taken down, but that pain continues to sear. The racism, discrimination and all-out hate for the Native peoples of this land is STILL abundant. It is relentless. To forget is an impossibility. To forget is to dishonour and devalue all of these people and their stories.

  • Wopila, I hope I getr to see the whole film. i saw that this film was in the Montreal First Peoples Festival. Congratulations! My Ate, my Dad, suffered the pain and indiginity of this system here in the US at the Holy Rosary Mission School. All these stories should be heard so that the truth is known.

  • God, you never tire of insisting that your world view is the only one. You reek of privilege and lack empathy. Read a few books. Educated yourself.

  • The insight, sensitivity, and respect for the survivors and the subject matter shown by Nadia is truly admirable. How Nadia managed to bring out the rawness of the atrocities these peope have endured and how the journey of healing has begun is nothing less than amazing.

    I believe this video should become part of the curriculum for anyone studying the humanities or Canadian history.

    This is a stunning technical, visual, and musically scored production.

    Thank you creator for this gift.

  • I think the welfare mentality of the Reserve is the worst thing that could happen to the first nations People, Welfare should be for the disabled, not able body people, it only destroys them. I was put in Children's aid & Foster Home's for two years against my will. I think the children that were put in those School's who got educated and were able to better them selves' are far better off than the one's who weren't!

  • You are an ignorant person. You have no empathy and no ability to understand what happened. This is NOT your story. Do not co-opt it.

  • Echo what PeachHipGirl13 said . YOU DON'T !!!!!!! ........ AND CAN NOT UNDER STAND GENOCIDAL POLICY FROM THE OUT SIDE AS A NON FIRST NATIONS PERSON. SHUT UP AND LISTEN!!!!SHUT UP AND JUST LISTEN. JUST BY BEING WHITE YOU ARE ACTING ON YOUR PRIVILEGE OF RACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I could complain about the past, I didn't like how I was abused, dwelling on it will only prevent me from succeeding, Those tough times made me strong, that is what they do! Forgive Forget & move on! The production & sound, music how this movie is put together is Excellent, the visual's with Bear & cubs I love It.

  • We have to forgive forget! Move on.

  • Ya..it's always good to forgive. What about rememberence day? and other events like titanic, why should we just forget about native people? That's what they want is to forget about it...no I don't think we should that wasn't long ago. Why do you think so maybe native people are on the streets and on drugs
