Writer, Producer and Director Marie Clements' complex and

Writer, Producer and Director Marie Clements' complex and fast-paced movie Bones of Crows has captured the complex effects of Canadian residential schools' legacy of abuse through the voice of Aline Spears (Grace Dove), a Cree woman forced to endure sexual, physical and emotional abuse at a Canadian Roman Catholic run residential school. What sets this story apart from others is the complex telling through PTSD flashes that weave not only her story but the stories of three generations in her family whose voices represent eras of nuanced racism culminating in child death cover-ups, suicide and lateral violence, to become redemptive when Aline's lawyer daughter heads the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada and brings her mother face to face with her abusers. Brilliant and heart wrenching -- a must see if one wants to truly understand the impact of generational trauma inflicted on the lives of First Nation peoples.

Sad film with an excellent plot.

I couldn't help but cry throughout this whole film because of its sad nature. NO child should have to go through what those poor kids had to go through, NO ONE! This kind of thing never happened to non-Indigenous kids because their families would never put up with that nonsense. But only Indigenous kids were forced to go through with that. Of course, this not only affected the kids but also their families. Some families like the one I saw in this film, were forced to sign away their children's lives. If parents refused to sign, they usually went to jail. This was commonplace in real life as parents hated the very thought of being forced to send their kids to death camps like those darn residential/boarding schools. Anyway, I give this one a 7 out of 10.
