Film Description:
"'I am so tired of surviving, I forgot how to live.' These are the heartfelt sentiments of Stephen Lytton, a resident of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside and survivor of Canada's notorious residential school system. Born with cerebral palsy, Lytton became a target of abuse during the 14 years he attended residential school. Director Marie Clements has created a beautiful and poetic articulation on the nature of survival."
