Note: when you view the videos on a page further into the site, it reads that once you go to youtube, videos of a similar subject will appear as options This is true - but they also come with ads, may not be acceptable, and so on. There are TED talks on youtube on this subject. For example....
NFB: Indigenous Cinema https://www.nfb.ca/indigenous-cinema/?&film_lang=en&sort=year:desc,title&year_min=1939&year_max=2021
I think it's worthwhile to just go to NFB and run a search for residential schools.

Please note that this film was produced in 1958 and reflects the attitudes and thinking of its era. To modern audiences, parts of the film may be perceived as offensive, but it must be seen as a cultural product of the era in which it was produced. The perspectives of Canadians (and the NFB) have evolved and become more conscious of Indigenous rights, realities and points of view since the making of the film. Through its rich collection of Indigenous-made films, available at Indigenous Cinema, the NFB continues to strive to challenge stereotypes about Indigenous people and accurately depict the diverse experiences of Indigenous communities.
