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.

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.

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 ...

This is a story that should be shown in High School. These poor communities having families ripped apart and their children kidnapped. I can't believe it took so long to be addressed by USA and Canada.

I'm a Canadian who was adopted through proper channels in the fifties as a baby. The First Nations children were forced to speak English and had to adapt to Christen ways. Even I know a lot of the story I still had many tissue moments and felt sick.

This was a fabulous series and I think it should be up for awards. The scenery, music and story were top notch . The clothing were on point for the time.

An incredible series, told from the point of view of the oppressed rather than the other way around with a First Nations cast, direction and writing.

I was riveted from the first scene as it was so well written, cast and with marvelous cinematography.

I was in tears several times, following the story of a First Nations child, who, along with her siblings is taken to an orphanage, photographed for the newspapers as ready for adoption and then adopted by a Jewish family in Montreal.

In adulthood, she finally ascertains she is adopted and not Jewish and starts the long arduous task of tracking her birth parents.

My heart broke for her so many times as she hits so many barriers in her quest.

Nothing is Disneyfied, the acting is superb and the depiction of the elders is authentic in its execution.

I am surprised I didn't see any publicity about this as it deserves so much recognition and should be shown in colleges, schools and universities.

The narrow, bigoted focus of the cops and social workers was particularly harrowing. The grief of the parents almost unbearable.

10/10 from me.
