Directed by Choctaw Film Maker, Phil Lucas, this dynamic and heartfelt video documents the devastating effects of the Native Canadian and First Nations Boarding Schools that dramatically shattered Indigenous Cultures, children, families and communities throughout North America.

Viewers join First Nations participants from Canada and the United States, during a four-day, culturally-based, healing process for understanding and recovering from this type of traumatic experience.

Healing the Hurts, , released in 1986, broke open Canada's the physical, sexual, cultural, emotional, spiritual and abuse and genocide practiced in Canada's Church-operated Residential Schools.
