St. Joseph’s Mission in Williams Lake, British Columbia was one of those schools. Ed Archie NoiseCat was born — and abandoned — there. He spent most of his life not wanting to talk about it. When the investigation into the school began, Julian Brave NoiseCat — Ed’s son — wanted to talk about it and made a documentary about the investigation. The resulting film is more than a look into a shameful chapter of Canada’s past. It is about the hard truths a community and a family have to face.
