For the first time, this 6-episode series brings the painful legacy of Quebec’s Indian Residential Schools to the screen. It tells the story of two young Anishinaabe siblings now trying to make peace with the painful past. We follow them from the heartbreaking moment when they, as children, are torn from their parents by the Oblates in the 1960s to the consequences that haunt them so many decades later. The plot weaves between different periods in their lives, showing the long lasting impacts felt by so many of the survivors and how they have managed and struggled to move forward in their lives. The mission of these publicly funded religious institutions was to assimilate Indigenous children and deprive them of the traditional teachings of their communities. Although fictional, the story is inspired by various testimonies illustrating the reality of several hundred families in the province. It emphasises the innate resilience of these uprooted children, which stands strong in the face of the most unimaginable adversity, and the repercussions on those around them.
