Courage to Remember: Stories of Our Labrador Residential School Experience (2010)

This documentary captures the personal stories of fifteen individuals as they reflect on their childhood experiences of residential school. Courage to Remember shows the multi-generational impacts of residential schools on the Inuit of Labrador. It incorporates archival footage from the Moravian missionaries, interwoven with present day testimonies, following the group as they gather strength in their lives, from berry picking on the Big Island, to square dancing, and watching Inuit games played by the youth at the local gymnasium. The film is a poetic testimony of the personal impacts of being removed from ones home and isolated in the residential school system. The gathering was organized by the Legacy of Hope Foundation in collaboration with the Nunatsiavut Government.
