    This movie is a masterpiece. Clint Eastwood produced it. I read that when he read the script he couldn't believe that this happened in Canada and immediately agreed to produce it. Absolutely heart wrenching what the Catholic Church did to so many children. They'll never be the same. Alcohol was not a native's drink...it was brought here to the Americas by the Whites so long ago. It was not meant for their system and it tore their lives apart. Later when the settlers came, they plied native's with alcohol to get their land. Hopefully this movie will open up people's consciousness of how they treat native people. They had their own way of life before the Europeans came to the Americas and no one had the right to take that from them. For those rejects on here that are stlll making nasty comments, remember you reap what you sow.....and Karma is a bitch.

    Moving movie based on real events and the experiences of a real child in one of Canada's Residential schools and the lifelong consequences it had on him , without going into extreme graphics of what happened to these kids. Everyone should see this movie. It will open your eyes and break your heart.

    This story should be told in every North American home so that as a country we can ensure that children are not taken away from their families or culture.

    To bad that those of you that think this movie was propaganda obviously have no feelings or compassion. This movie certainly opened my eyes as to what our government did to the native people. Every person should see this movie.7

    I loved this film. It would have been a great hockey film alone. Although it exposes the problems with residential schools, which has been frequently in the media, it also shows the abuse that native people suffered outside the school, from their treatment in the bar scene to the hockey arena. More than just the workers at the residential schools have to reflect on their part in the whole tragedy. Although most teachers have students read To Kill a Mocking Bird in school, it is an American fictional story. We should be reading the book this film is based on. This is our story and Canadians need to learn from it. Besides the lessons to be learnt from this film, it is an uplifting story of survival and good entertainment to boot.

    I agree with the suggestion that it should be shown in high school classrooms. However, there is not a chance in hell that any catholic high school would be permitted to see it or even discuss it.The Catholic church believes in denying or hiding its faults.
