Foster Child (1987)

Gil Cardinal searches for his natural family and an understanding of the circumstances that led to his becoming a foster child. An important figure in the history of Canadian Indigenous filmmaking, Gil Cardinal was born to a Métis mother but raised by a non-Indigenous foster family, and with this auto-biographical documentary he charts his efforts to find his biological mother and to understand why he was removed from her. Considered a milestone in documentary cinema, it addressed the country's internal colonialism in a profoundly personal manner, winning a Special Jury Prize at Banff and multiple international awards.

While it was nice to see a film that was made by someone in Edmonton and takes place in Edmonton, it wasn't great. He has this snobby attitude about the whole situation; I mean I know this is his story abut finding his birth family but when the woman can't tell you more because it'll put her job on the line don't make her feel like s***! And it continues throughout the film, like he wants them to feel bad about things out of their control! Other than that it was okay. I liked that he has the same mugs as my parents and that I had been to some of the locations. But otherwise...meh!
