ironymaidenTitle is the name of a reservation in BC - doc about the survivors of St Joseph's residential school. Canadians will be familiar with this - the tribe did ground penetrating radar on the grounds of the school and collected testimony (they have a murder board) tracing the atrocities that happened there. It is not an educational journey as much as an emotional journey, giving elders as much space as they need to speak. Often they are ceremonially cleansed as they speak (smoke, drumming, or sweat). It's a tough watch. The co-director is the son of the only known survivor of the infants born at the school - literally found in an empty container in the garbage destined for incineration. His dad is an artist here in western WA and I'm familiar with his work (will add a link later) so his history was a bit more shocking for me.
It will hit Disney+ in the fall.
