Little Bird

Thought Little Bird the best drama I have seen for ages. An horrific story that is beautifully acted and produced, with the inclusion of music from indigenous artists adding to the powerful reality. Coming from a country where the colonised indigenous people are still fighting for better health care, more educational opportunities and generally are less prosperous than the non-indigenous population, made this story more meaningful. The appalling treatment in Canada of the indigenous people is told here with balance and makes a real impact on one. I highly recommend this drama and praise the Producers, Directors and actors for their outstanding work.

Heartbreaking series that was incredibly well done. There were many parts that were tough to watch but as a white member of a family who was given one of the sixty scoop children, it was important for me to not look away. I never got to meet my uncle as he followed a similar path to a main character in this story. This is a story that is still relevant today as there are more children being removed from their families than ever before. All Canadians should take this time to confront this dark side of Canadian history. I hope that this series touches the hearts of everyone who watches it as it did mind.

An extraordinary story & a terrific production. I gave it a "9" - which for me is rather unusual. I just finished watching the final episode, and rarely have i felt so disappointed to see a series end as i feel now.

Highly highly recommended. The one factor which diminishes my review is the note that i must type two hundred and sixty some more characters for this review. Are they lying ... (i hope ..)

nope. Looks like they want me to ramble on . . . Well it takes place in montreal and in regina and thereabouts, and presents a rather dim view of canadian child protective services vis-a-vis the native population ...

It was certainly very, very emotional. Beautifully presented by the first-nation actors, who themselves must have been deeply moved by the storyline.

I was teary-eyed. I was seething and railing against the evil system and the police as they were portrayed. How could this have happened and possibly still is happening?

The series needs to be shown in every school to demonstrate the plight of less fortunate people (in many countries, I'm sure) and the wickedness of people who are supposed to care for and protect society. I'm sure that I will be moved by each heart-tugging scene in each episode.

I binge watched this series last night. This is by far, the best series I've watched in a long time. I was fortunate enough to work up in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory for just under five years. This gave me the opportunity to work side by side with the First Nation people and learn all about their culture.

This series depicts the terrible actions against them. The actors were brilliant and following the story was really interesting and compelling viewing.

For many people who do not know about this shameful part of Canadian history, I ask that you please watch this series. I recognised a couple of the actors from other shows.

Amazing film making.
