The movies that draw my undivided attention are based on true events. The novel Indian Horse written by Richard Wagamese was made into a movie now on Netflix.
I’ve always said, “You never know how a person was raised, what their environment was like, or what they are going through present day.” This is why it’s easy for me to like other people w/o judgement.
This movie portrays the lasting damage an environment can have on a person’s life.
I did not know there were Residential Schools for indigenous people in Canada let alone that they existed from the 1800s until 1996! Yes, 1996.
