Every Canadian should watch this limited series as part of experiencing some truth and reconciliation about Indigenous experiences. The story focus moves through the same family but with a peak into each different family member's experiences and points of views.
In episode 1, we follow a young girl named Aline. She is the central story figure and is removed by the church from her home and put into a Residential School. It then follows her relationship with Adam, their WW2 experience in Britain and then continues into their own family experiences.
I strongly encourage people to have the strength to watch this series all of the way through to hopefully learn about some of the miscarriages of justice and utterly horrible treatment that our indigenous citizens had to endure.
Warning: There are parts of this series dealing with the abuse and atrocities inflicted by the churches, especially the Catholic Church. Some people may not like this. They probably want to believe that events like this never happened. But please don't lower your perceived 'enjoyment' of this kind of media just because these facts might contradict your own positive experiences with the church. Crime should be punished, not just be absolved with repentance. IMO, this series highlights the view that serious Catholic issues-management reforms are needed... not just to payoff families, and then hide or relocate the offenders to another congregation.
Please watch this, and then recommend it to everyone you know.

If this was made for TV as "investigative journalism", the editor-producer probably would have cut this easily to half (or less?) in runtime length.
It's a good story, worth telling / watching. In hindsight, I'd probably recommend to others to just watch the last episode. It contains some of the best clues, IMO.
The middle two episodes... my goodness, they really drag out, repeat scenes / themes, present us with non-credible "witness" accounts of what I can only describe as opinions (i.e. Journalistic garbage) that attempt to mislead the viewer. Why did the producer leave these in the final cut? Did Netflix have a minimum runtime duration stipulated before purchasing this documentary?
IMO, besides the only disappearance of a person (apparently), ever, in the history of The Vatican, this documentary length is a mystery that should be solved.

Every character on the show gets a moment to set their future path. Gonna miss this show.
