One of Ours (2021)
A documentary that is as insightful asd it is emotional
7 December 2023
The question of what it means to belong to a community is not easy for everyone to answer. Most people grow up and live without understanding how it can even be a problem.
This film is about Josiah, an adopted young man from Haiti who has clear links to his Heiltsuk community, yet they get questioned by an "authority" that should not even be able to have anything to say about his being part of his grandfather's and father's Indigenous community.
The film gives great, detailed insight into the emotions and pain this thoughtless decision causes, the family's support, and the needless struggle to heal which lasts years.
Everyone should watch this film - those who have questioned their identity and (especially) those who never have.
