released by Harper Collins in 2020, follows five survivors of Canada’s Indigenous residential schools system after they endured years of detention, suffering and forced assimilation. “This story must be told in every way we can and with such insight into genocide. I am confident that Prospero Pictures will create a beautiful rendition of the joy, the love and the horror of this story,” Good said in a statement.
The book also portrays survivors finding their way to survival and healing. “Michelle Good’s beautiful novel pulled me in and held me close until the last word. [It was] so stunning I dove straight back in to read it again. It’s an incredible honor to work with Michelle to transition this book to the screen,” Masters said in her own statement.
