Each year, former students gather and share their experience about the boarding school. These former students share their unique perspective of life as they fought to retain their native identity."
In 2004, the director filmed the reunion of former students at the Thomas Indian School in western New York. Personal testimonials include community members Rhoda Leaffe, Alice Gonzalez and Joanne Kabance. The 2018 version of the film includes additional testimonials and footage not included in the original film.
