  • Introducing: Kuper Island
    May 9 2022
    Long after the Kuper Island Residential School was torn down, the survivors are still haunted by what happened there. Investigative reporter Duncan McCue exposes buried police investigations, confronts perpetrators of abuse and witnesses a community trying to rebuild — literally on top of the old school’s ruins and the unmarked graves of Indigenous children. Episodes release Tuesdays, starting May 17.

  • E1: A School They Called Alcatraz
    May 17 2022

    Duncan McCue travels to Penelakut, an island off the coast of B.C., and the site of the Kuper Island Residential School. The community has torn down the reviled building, but the dark memories of what happened at the nearly-century old institution linger. Survivors James and Tony Charlie give a tour of their old school grounds, and we look into the mystery of what happened to one boy, Richard Thomas, who did not make it out alive.

  • E2: Nights on the Boys’ Side
    May 24 2022

    What was it like to be a student at one of the most notorious residential schools in Canada? Survivors James and Tony Charlie share their own account of recurring sexual abuse at the hands of their teachers, starting with a fateful trip to Montreal's Expo '67. Their stories speak to how abuse rotted all facets of school life — and how at Kuper Island, no child was spared.

Excellent work

This is a gut wrenching story that needs to be told, needs to be heard, and needs all of us (Canadians especially) to come together for justice and healing. Great job. Keep going!

Required listening

This is difficult yet required listening on the journey of Truth and reconciliation. More hard truths about residential schools are uncovered in this raw journalistic documentation. It is so important that we all take the time to be witness to the truth of our shared history.
