    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      At one point in the film, Prime Minister John A. MacDonald is quoted to justify the starvation of Indigenous children held in residential schools. In 1882, MacDonald gave a speech in the House of Commons where he addressed the systematic starvation of Indigenous populations who relied on rations from the Canadian government. In MacDonald's words, "I have reason to believe that the agents as a whole ... are doing all they can, by refusing food until the Indians are on the verge of starvation, to reduce the expense."
