The Good Canadian

Behind every myth is the truth; behind every inequity is a system; behind them all is…THE GOOD CANADIAN.

The Good Canadian challenges the cherished image of a benevolent nation by uncovering a darker history. Through interviews with experts, advocates, whistleblowers, and politicians, and using shocking footage, directors Leena Minifie and David Paperny trace systemic inequity from the Indian Act to residential schools to present-day family separation, urging Canadians to confront national myths and build a new identity from truth.
