It is footage and interviews compiled together to create a coherent story of a young indigenous boy dismantled by the system . If you are interested in indigenous culture and or social justice regarding this, then this is a great source of information . The director has filmed real life moments with real people and is displaying it simply as that, without any regard to modern art or societal expectations. A documentary needs to practically succeed in two things, that being interesting content and coherency with the exception of emotional attachment / meaningful awareness aswell . this documentary succeeds in all three critical aspects . I would rate this film 10, but the fact that is a documentary defies my IMDB ethos .
