Childhood Lost - The Residential School Experience

Childhood Lost examines the experiences of four individuals who were sent to residential schools when they were very young. While their stories represent different generations spanning over fifty years, they share a common sense of loneliness, despair and trauma.

We learn how some are coping with the many years of sexual abuse and the effects it has had on their lives.
Each story is intensely personal. At the close of the documentary, the individuals are brought together for a chance to share their experiences. In the talking circle they share memories of pain and humour.

For each of them this is a healing journey. This is a journey that may never end.
