In Jesus’ Name: Shattering the Silence of St. Anne's Residential School is a poignant all-indigenous English and Cree-English collaborative documentary film (42 mins) that breaks long-held silences imposed upon indigenous children who were interned at the notoriously violent St. Anne’s Residential School in Fort Albany First Nation, Ontario. Use of a homemade electric chair at St. Anne's and the incorporation of testimony about student-on-student abuse makes this documentary stand apart from other films about Canadian residential school experiences. NOTE: This documentary film was almost entirely self-funded by the director from her student loans and scholarships.
