As a young child Rita was sent to a Canadian Indian Residential School and then to the Mitchener Center in Red Deer, Alberta. A panel to determine her mental competence for child bearing interviewed her. The panel determined she should be sterilized as authorized by the Sexual Sterilization Act of Alberta, enacted in 1928. This is Rita’s story of survival and hope. The film captures the essence of Rita, and is a testament to her courage, tenacity and desire to experience everything that she could in life. |
