Interviewees, Lyna Hart, Glen Anaquod.
As young children, Lyna and Glen were taken from their homes and placed in church-run boarding schools. The trauma of this experience was made worse by years of untold physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, the effects of which persist in their adult lives. In this emotional film, the profound impact of the Canadian government's residential school system is conveyed unflinchingly through the eyes of two children who were forced to face hardships beyond their years. We were children gives voice to a national tragedy and demonstrates the incredible resilience of the human spirit.
DVD-R. If using computers, best played with VLC Media Player. May have problems playing on certain DVD players, particularly DVD/VHS combination machines.
In English with Cree and French segments subtitled in English ; optional French subtitles for English and Cree dialogue.
