“Watch as the documentary’s stars, Esther Anne and Dawn Neptune Adams, join the filmmakers for a live screening, concert and panel discussion.”

“Educate yourself during this Thanksgiving season.”

‘“Dawnland” not only exposes the truth of what happened in Maine, but also provides the opportunity to raise awareness of this nation-wide issue, which continues to impact families and children.”

“Adam Mazo and Ben Pender-Cudlip detail the harrowing process of the commission as indigenous people find the courage to tell their stories, while also exploring the conflicts that arise among its different stakeholders.”

“Dawnland tells the story of children who “experienced shattering emotional and physical harm by adults who mistreated them and tried to erase their cultural identity,” because “government agents systematically forced Native American children from their homes and placed them with white families,” according to PBS.”

“Dawnland follows the commission through its process and doesn’t hide the fact that, at times, the commission and the film crew were perceived as outsiders, discouraging some Wabanaki community members from participating in the commission’s events.”
