We Were Children is a 2012 Canadian documentary film about the experiences of First Nations children in the Canadian Indian residential school system.
The film recounts the experiences of two residential school survivors: Lyna Hart, who was sent to the Guy Hill Residential School in Manitoba at age four, and Glen Anaquod, who was sent to the Lebret Indian Residential School in Saskatchewan. We Were Children combines interviews with the two with dramatic recreations of their experiences.
The evening will include a film showing followed by a talking circle.
