Description

This moving docu-drama explores the destructive effects Kuper Island Residential School had on the hundreds of Indigenous children sent there by government agents for almost a century. Now, twenty years after the school was closed, survivors of Kuper Island are embarking on a spiritual journey on Vancouver Island's Tsartlip Reserve to begin healing the deep psychological wounds inflicted by their residential school experience.
