Adapted from Richard Wagamese’s award-winning novel, this moving drama sheds light on the dark history of Canada’s residential schools and the resilience of Indigenous peoples.
Seven-year-old Saul Indian Horse is separated from his family and placed in a residential school, where he is denied the freedom to speak his language or embrace his culture, and where he and fellow Indigenous students suffer harrowing abuse.
When Saul discovers that he has a unique talent for hockey, his passion for the game allows him to glimpse a life beyond the horrors that confine him. As Saul’s star rises, he must draw on his own indomitable spirit and face the past.

“The essence and importance of Wagamese’s book — both the brutality and the beauty — shines through, more vital than ever.” — Mark Medley,
