Building on Tainted Soil dives deep into the haunting legacy of the residential school system for Native American children. The film features personal accounts from Augustine, Charmaine, and Jim, illustrating the emotional weight carried through generations. It's not just an exploration of history but a raw, impactful reflection on identity and loss. The pacing is contemplative, allowing the viewer to absorb the gravity of each story. Visually, it contrasts archival footage with present-day interviews, creating a powerful juxtaposition. The scores and ambient sounds, though subtle, amplify the deep sense of sorrow and resilience that permeates the narrative. It's a distinctive piece that, while difficult to watch, sheds light on an often overlooked aspect of American history.
