We Were Children We Were Children is a documentary following the experience of two Indian
Residential School students, which aired on APTN on March 19, 2013. The
documentary is now available to watch on the APTN website:
http://aptn.ca/pages/wewerechildren/
“As young children, Lyna and Glen were taken from their homes and placed in
church-run boarding schools. The trauma of this experience was made worse by
years of untold physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, the effects of which per-
sist in their adult lives. In this emotional film, the profound impact of the Cana-
dian government’s residential school system is conveyed unflinchingly through
the eyes of two children who were forced to face hardships beyond their years.
We Were Children gives voice to a national tragedy and demonstrates the in-
credible resilience of the human spirit.”
