Finding Peter Bryce

Finding Peter Bryce

(2018, 23 minutes)

All Andy Bryce knew about his great-grandfather was that he lived in a big house in Ottawa, and wrote Canada's first Health Code. But when he opened a box of family mementoes, he discovered that while working for the federal government, Dr. Peter Bryce had uncovered health abuses in government-funded Residential Schools. And in 1922 he revealed them publicly in his The Story of a National Crime Being an Appeal for Justice to the Indians of Canada. As Andy pieces together his ancestor's role in Canada's troubled relationship with Indigenous people, he reaches a new understanding of the need for reconciliation.

Director: Peter C. Campbell
