MA NOTE

For over 130 years till 1996, more than 100,000 of Canada's First Nations children were legally required to attend government-funded schools run by various Christian faiths. Most children were sent to faraway schools that separated them from their families and traditional land.

A must watch to understand recent history of Canada

Tear jerking and anger provoking. This half dramatic part documentary tells how the Canadian government tried to eradicate a race out of their society by making aboriginal children leave their homes and attend church run boarding schools.

Some of the nuns are God crazy and some of the priests put the children through physical, emotional and sexual and mental abuse.

2 of the 80'000 survivors narrate this harrowing true story that only ceased in 1996

Very important heartwrenching movie, with painful truths.

Really heartbreaking to see the true story of the extreme conditions of child abuse in Indian Schools by christian priests. Children forced from their parents into hellish conditions under the false truth that they were to become better people, like their perpetrators thought themselves because of a faith they only misused for their own benefit. People should see this movie. With child abuse still happening all over the world. There should be a lot more focus on getting an end to violence and abuse from people with power over innocent children and people. Sad story. Though very well made.

Informative

This is and has been a problem with the church's no discipline or consequences they just move these sick monsters to other places... history never lies but it has a way of repeating itself until these monsters are stopped and exposed for what they really are instead of hiding behind God while committing these atrocities against innocent children.

I couldn't watch this movie in whole

I could not stomach these fragments. This movie will bring you to tears and disappointment with this past history of Canada that no one knew about until recent years. Should this movie be for truth and reconciliation? Never.

We should always talk about this.
