Killing the Indian in the Child

Summary The indigenous population of Canada fell victim to a cultural genocide. The re-education was cruel until 1996: children were torn from their parents and taken to boarding schools. These Indian residential schools were mostly run by Christian clerics. Many died there of illness, suffered from ill-treatment or were sexually abused. Almost 1,200 indigenous women were murdered or reported missing in Canada between 1980 and 2012, but the police are hesitant to clear up the cases. An effect of the systematic discrimination against the First Nations, which began with the Indian Act 150 years ago. Now a group of Ontario survivors are demanding compensation for the wrong done. The Canadian state has admitted mistakes, but reparations for the traumatized and their descendants have not yet been approved. The documentary accompanies the activists in the struggle for justice and shows their pain in emotional interviews. View more details

A pale hand came from the back seat.... 4. 'Undôkai no 8mm film ni...' An 8mm film taken by the father of a field day when the provider was in the second grade of elementary school. A sad boy's face is shown.... 5. 'Yami ni ukabu otoko no kao' A video of a test of courage held at a club's training camp. In the darkness, there's a face that's clearly not related.... 6. 'Shinrei shashin ga tora reta genba nite' This photo was taken at a castle ruin in the outskirts of Tokyo. It was a staff member who visited the place where the photo was taken with the provider, but.... 7. 'Yaneura ni dô meku hito no kao' The state of an attic shot for preliminary inspection by a pest control contractor. A white spirit moves as if to avoid the light source.... 8.

'Butsudan no iei no kao ga...' The provider came to visit her parents' house with a young child. For some reason, the portrait of her grandfather placed on the Buddhist altar behind has gotten bigger.... 13. 'Osoikakaru rap-on' A video that accidentally captured the moment when a rap sound suddenly resounded in an empty space. And the woman who was there suddenly lost consciousness.... The fear grows! Earthbound spirits, vengeful spirits, floating spirits, guardian spirits.... It's full of mysterious images that cannot be explained by science!
