In 2021 evidence of unmarked graves was discovered on the grounds of an "Indian Residential school" run by the Catholic Church in Canada. After years of silence, the forced separation, assimilation and abuse many children experienced at these segregated boarding schools was brought to light, sparking a national outcry against a system designed to destroy Indigenous communities.
Set amidst a groundbreaking investigation, Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie document a community breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma, finding the strength to survive during this moment of international reckoning.
