9/10
Outstanding Dramatic Contribution to Indigenous Canadian History
24 June 2019
Having just had the unexpected pleasure of viewing this beautiful film, I cannot find words to adequately express how moved I was. The screenplay and acting had me in tears. Roz Owen brings a refreshing approach to a very important subject by showing how the 60s scoop deeply affected not only the children involved, but also the white Canadian families who told themselves they were doing the right thing by adopting indigenous children who had been ripped from their homes. Underlying racism inevitably does lasting damage to all. I hope this fine film receives the commercial distribution it deserves. An excellent score makes it all the more enjoyable.
