“This was such a great movie. A really clear way of showing people who will not acknowledge historical and generational trauma that it is a real and serious issue being faced by many, many people today.”
Amazon Review
“This was an amazing documentary that shines a lot of light on the injustices that indigenous people experienced for generations. This film also highlights the context behind historical trauma and how trauma may be passed down through generations.”
