Inspired to know more about his father’s time at residential school, artist Carey Newman created the Witness Blanket—a national monument that commemorates the experiences of residential school survivors. This film sheds light on the journey of creating the Witness Blanket and how, in making this piece, it released the truth, pain and resiliency. You can learn more about the film through the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.
