Film

The Unforgotten is a five-part anthology. While the film is meant to be watched as a whole, each story can also be watched individually.

"Such a beautiful and poignant film! It paints an unflinching systemic portrait, and I hope it receives the prominence, reach and impact it deserves. What an enormous contribution to what I have often called the "ongoing big work of Reconciliation." It has to start with taking off the blinders."

— Marie Wilson, C.M., O.N.W.T., M.S.C., Commissioner of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada 2009–15

"This film project and the subsequent open-hearted learning that I hope follows could be a key part of a great shift towards a more compassionate, just and culturally safe health care environment for Indigenous people (and for all people)."

— Leela Gilday, music director
