Description
The Huronia Regional Centre in Ontario was sold to families as a safe home for children with disabilities, but in reality, it was the site of appalling abuse and neglect. Filmmaker Barri Cohen set out to learn about the siblings she didn't know she had, and a dark history she tells of institutionalization in Canada. Her film Unloved: Huronia's Forgotten Children is being shown at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival. We also hear from Brian Logie, a survivor of the Huronia Regional Centre.
