When All the Leaves Are Gone (2010)
As the only First Nations student in an all-white 1940s school, eight-year old Wato is keenly aware of the hostility towards her. She deeply misses the loving environment of the reserve she once called home, and her isolation is sharpened by her father’s serious illness. When Wato’s teacher reads from a history book describing First Nations peoples as ignorant and cruel, it aggravates her classmates’ prejudice. Shy and vulnerable Wato becomes the target of their bullying and abuse. Alone in her suffering, she finds solace and strength in the protective world of her magical dreams.

Must See Movie...
i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
