Birth of a Family

The documentary delves into the historical context of the sixties scoop, when thousands of Indigenous children were taken from their homes and adopted by non-Indigenous families. Through the personal stories of the four siblings, viewers witness the complexities of identity, belonging, and the effects of family separation.

Produced by ONF and NFB, Birth of a Family provides a poignant look at how these siblings navigate their shared past while seeking to establish new relationships. The film emphasizes the importance of family and cultural heritage, making it a significant contribution to the discourse on Indigenous rights and identity in Canada.
