Plot.

Skilfully intertwining narratives concerning residential school survivors and Indigenous peoples' relationship with imperiled wild Pacific salmon, Sean Stiller's stirring documentary is a revelatory testament to strength and resilience. At the heart of the film is Phyllis Jack-Webstad, the survivor who founded the Orange Shirt Day movement. While Phyllis recounts her childhood trials to youth across the country, her relations in the Secwépemc territory near Williams Lake are contending with another outcome of colonialism: the upper Fraser River's lowest salmon runs in Canadian history.

Wiki.

Returning Home is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Sean Stiller and released in 2021. The film is a portrait of Phyllis Webstad, an Indian residential school survivor who founded Orange Shirt Day, and depicts both her national speaking tour about the residential schools and the activism of her home Secwepemc community around the decline of the Pacific salmon.

It was the first full-length feature film ever produced by Canadian Geographic magazine.

The film premiered on the online platform of the Lunenburg Doc Fest on September 26, 2021, before having its official theatrical premiere on September 27 at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts in Vancouver, British Columbia. It was subsequently screened at the Calgary International Film Festival, the Edmonton International Film Festival and the 2021 Vancouver International Film Festival.
