Little Bird

This story about Little Bird set at the background of what is called the Sixties Scoop. I didn't know what it was so I had to look it up. It is hard to believe this happened. Obviously, it is not a documentary but no one can deny this sort of thing happened. I found watching this to be so sad and infuriating that this has happened in a civilized society like Canada and America. Hard also to conceive that people would work for the government who advocates evil. We may think times have changed and we have improved but let's not fool ourselves. A lot of injustices still exists. Many people just turn the other way.

Great series. Cinematography was excellent.

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 ...

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.

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.
