“Obviously the topic of child abuse is not a lighthearted issue. Rightly so this story deserves to be told, possibly as a way to address the injustice these children and their families have faced and continue to endure. I throughly appreciated the thoughtful and thorough research that Duncan McCue and his team put into this project. However, it is heart wrenching to listen to these adults recall the terrible acts that they experienced as children at this ‘hellhole’, as one boy described it. I had to stop at the third episode…it was just too much.
From a podcast production perspective, I wonder if it’s just that I’m not the right audience for this sort of storytelling or if there is a possibly a different way to present these stories without diluting the message. No one wishes to sanitize a truly dark period of how Canadian Indians/Native peoples were treated during this period, I hope that more can listen to this.”
