The Unforgotten is a short documentary film that explores Indigenous interactions with the Canadian healthcare system at five stages in life — birth, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and Elder-hood — and how the Canadian healthcare system has failed at every stage in its oath to “do no harm.” With Yellowknife’s own Dr. Ewan Affleck branching out from his medical background to take the role of executive producer in this powerful film, The Unforgotten turns documentary making into an artform to discuss how Indigenous peoples have, in some cases, become literal prisoners to a healthcare system that does not have their best interests in mind.
