HOW THE SAVAGE CAME TO BE
DIRECTOR:  DINAE ROBINSON 
DOC SHORT • 9:00 MINUTES • CANADA

Canada’s dark and behind the headlines history of the Indian Residential School system has only began to surface within the past decade. Testimonies from former students whose experiences are so dark and bleak, it is hard to believe that a such an inhumane government funded, Church run school could ever exist. What some might forget is that the victims were only children when they attended.
