A feature documentary by Barry Greenwald, Co-Produced by White Pine Pictures & Paunna Productions, director intern/co-producer, Alethea Arnaquq-Baril
Feature documentary follows Peter Ittinuar, Zebedee Nungak and Eric Tagoona, who, as 12-year-old boys, were shipped South in the early 1960s from their homes in the Canadian Arctic to attend public schools in Ottawa. The boys went on to become political activists and leaders of their people. This film is the untold story of how an experiment in assimilation not only changed the boys, but changed a nation.
