About the Film

Unloved is a profound documentary that uncovers a painful family secret and expands into an investigation of the historical injustices faced by vulnerable children within government-enabled systems of institutional cruelty. The film courageously addresses hidden truths while paying respect to the experiences of those impacted.

Trigger Warning: The film contains sensitive content.

Community Engagement and Panel Discussion

Following the screening, attendees had the opportunity to engage with an expert panel, including Christine Vallis-Page (CEO of E3 Community Services), Keith Dee (Community Living Ontario), Hennie Debruijn (DSP), Heather Grasman (SSW), and Deb Sauve (DSW). The panel facilitated a thoughtful conversation about the film’s themes, the importance of awareness, and the need for continued advocacy.

The event fostered an open dialogue on how our community can learn from past injustices and work towards a future where every individual is valued and protected. Light refreshments were provided, creating a welcoming space for reflection and connection.
