LITTLE BIRD is a premium, six-part limited dramatic series about an Indigenous woman on a journey to find her birth family and uncover the hidden truth of her past.
Bezhig Little Bird (Darla Contois) was adopted into a Jewish family at the age of five, becoming Esther Rosenblum. Now in her 20s, Esther seemingly has everything; she is beautiful, well educated, and lives a very privileged life in Montreal. She is on her way to becoming a lawyer, while her fiancé, David is a doctor from a prominent Jewish family. Her life seems nearly perfect.
But Bezhig longs for the family she lost and is willing to sacrifice everything to find them. Her quest lands her in the Canadian prairies, worlds apart from everything she knows, where she begins to unravel the mystery behind her adoption and forcing her to question everything she believed to be true.
When she discovers that she was one of the generation of children forcibly apprehended by the Canadian government through a policy, later coined the 60s Scoop, Bezhig’s pursuit to reconnect her family intensifies. Through this epic journey of connection and self discovery, she begins to find her lost family and put the pieces of her fragmented past back together.
This ground-breaking new series explores themes of trauma and loss while reminding us of the power and resilience of the human spirit, holding a mirror up to who we are and who we hope to become.
