Birth of a Family documents the story of four Indigenous siblings—Betty Ann, Esther, Rosalie, and Ben—who were among the 20,000 children removed from their families and placed into foster care or adopted by non-Indigenous families during the Sixties Scoop in Canada between 1955 and 1985. The film follows their journey as they uncover their shared history, rebuild their connections, and form a family. The content is recommended for viewers aged 14 and older.
