Our Spirits Don't Speak English is a raw, evocative documentary that dives deep into a painful chapter of Native American history. Directed by Chip Richie, it provides a compelling lens on the U.S. government's treatment of Indigenous children, particularly in relation to boarding schools. The pacing has this haunting rhythm, weaving together personal testimonies and archival footage that hit hard. The atmosphere is heavy but necessary, revealing layers of resilience and cultural survival. You can feel the weight of the stories shared, the voices of children silenced but now echoing through this film. It's not flashy, just a powerful, honest exploration of identity, loss, and the fight for agency. Definitely not your typical doc; it sticks with you long after the credits roll.
