Early 60s: Canada sent three 12-year-old Inuit boys to live with foster families and attend school in Ottawa. Palme d’Or winner Barry Greenwald illuminates how despite familial and cultural losses, the tools acquired through this education enabled them to became thorns in the side of the government that had brought them South. Peter Ittinuar, Zebedee Nungak and Eric Tagoona became leaders of their people, instrumental in the establishment of aboriginal rights in Canada and around the world, and in the creation of Nunavut, the world’s largest self-governed aboriginal territory—15 years ago in April. But their achievements came at an unfathomable price. This important documentary is the untold story of how an experiment in social engineering changed three boys—and a nation.
