The Cover Up (2026)

Faith-based institutions once celebrated as moral pillars in Canada are now confronting unprecedented accountability as Indigenous residential school survivors pursue long-overdue justice. The global spotlight intensified in May 2021 when investigators uncovered the final resting places of 215 children at the former Kamloops campus in British Columbia, triggering a transformative shift in how the nation processes its colonial past. For years, First Nations, Inuit, and Métis community members documented systemic cruelty, forced isolation, unauthorized medical procedures, and fatal violence within these federally backed religious programs, only to be met with skepticism and official dismissal. Modern archaeological verification has since transformed those isolated accounts into irrefutable historical fact, fueling ongoing calls for institutional transparency, truth-telling, and meaningful reparations.
