MEADOWLARKS
On Wednesday, October 14th at 7:00 p.m.
Meadowlarks is the story of four siblings, separated as babies, who are reuniting 50 years later during a week spent in Banff. Their forced separation at birth was part of the Sixties Scoop, the term given for the then-common practice of removing Indigenous children from their families, often without consent, and placing them with the child welfare system. While documentaries have covered this topic over the years, nothing has ever fictionalized the experience of uniting as adults and coping with the consequences. Kicking off with awkward small talk, gifts, and forced bonding events, the one brother and three sisters do their best to get to know one another after decades apart.
