Of what it was like to be a Residential school Student and the things
They had to Give up to be socialized into society

Two aboriginal children are kidnapped by Canadian Government officials and placed in a boarding school, an environment where they are emotionally and sometimes sexually abused. Later they are told that their parents have died and they must remain in the institution where they are forced to give up their language, their heritage and almost, their spirits. Their only chance lies in escape. Michelle St. John is uncannily powerful in the lead role with Anne-Marie MacDonald as her sympathetic teacher.
