These documentary films will be dedicated to all the children taken out of their homes, setting triumph over adversity. Looking at Bill’s life, born with club feet, deaf in both ears and borderline retardation was only the beginning of his hardship that he had to deal with. First, taken out of his home at 3 years old, taken to residential school, almost killed in residential school. Taken out of residential school and brought to the supreme court to be made ward of the courts. He was then handed over to Social Service. Raised in the foster care system up to the age of 13 years old and then put on independent living. This is only the spec of who Bill is as he endured so much in his life, through his endurance and many years of heart ache he wants to let young people know that whatever you go through you have the ability to endure and to thrive in the things you do and want to do, don’t let nobody stop you!
