One of Ours Review: A Touching Exploration of Identity.

"One of Ours" follows Josiah Wilson, a Haitian-born Heiltsuk French Canadian youth adopted into a Calgary Indigenous family. The film explores Josiah's experience at an Indigenous basketball tournament that challenges his sense of belonging. The movie explores themes of community, acceptance, love, betrayal, and resilience, offering a touching story about identity. By exploring Josiah's journey, dealing with adoption, family issues, and the tournament the movie helps us to broaden our understanding of identity and the positive impact of finding acceptance within one's community. I highly recommend "One of Ours" for its touching exploration of identity.

A documentary that is as insightful asd it is emotional

The question of what it means to belong to a community is not easy for everyone to answer. Most people grow up and live without understanding how it can even be a problem.This film is about Josiah, an adopted young man from Haiti who has clear links to his Heiltsuk community, yet they get questioned by an "authority" that should not even be able to have anything to say about his being part of his grandfather's and father's Indigenous community.The film gives great, detailed insight into the emotions and pain this thoughtless decision causes, the family's support, and the needless struggle to heal which lasts years.Everyone should watch this film - those who have questioned their identity and (especially) those who never have.

A Heartfelt Film About Embracing Culture and Family

I found this film to be both informative and heartfelt. The film took the audience through an extremely emotional and heartfelt journey that highlighted themes such as racial differentiation, unconditional love, and acceptance. I appreciated the various perspectives that were explored throughout the contents of the film. The ways in which the Indigenous community were shown to be strong and united allowed the audience to gain deeper connection for the family and their story. I believe that this film expertly demonstrated the ways in which a united culture can bring people of all backgrounds together as a result of tradition and compassion.
