The National – “Kidnapped by a Nun: Residential School Survivor Story”
Synopsis:
Debbie Paul grew up with no control over her own life: sent to residential school as a child, then effectively kidnapped and taken to the US by a nun, only to be sent home again unannounced. And she couldn’t prove any of it happened. When she applied for compensation, the federal government argued she had no proof. CBC takes her on a journey back to the US to find out the truth.
