Bones of Crows

Bones of Crows is a 2022 Canadian drama film, written, produced, and directed by Marie Clements and starring Grace Dove.

The film's cast also includes Summer Testawich and Carla-Rae as Aline Spears in childhood and older age, as well as Phillip Lewitski, Rémy Girard, Karine Vanasse, Michelle Thrush, Glen Gould, Gail Maurice, Cara Gee, Joshua Odjick, Jonathan Whitesell, Jules Arita Koostachin and Alanis Obomsawin in supporting roles.

The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 10, 2022, before going into commercial release on June 2, 2023.

A Cree woman survives the Indian residential school system to become a code talker for the Canadian Air Force during World War II.

The film was shot partially at the Kamloops Indian Residential School. Although the revelation of 215 unmarked gravesites at the school took place just one week before shooting was to start, the Tkʼemlúps te Secwépemc nation encouraged production to proceed because of the importance of getting residential school stories publicized and told.

In 2021, CBC Television announced a five-hour limited series, which delves more deeply into Spears' extended family history over 100 years.

The television version premiered on September 20, 2023, on both CBC and APTN, with a Cree language version also airing on APTN beginning September 25.

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 95% of 19 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.8/10.
