About the Show

THE KNOWING is a four-part narrative docuseries that follows journalist Tanya Talaga and her familys eight-decade long search for family matriarch Annie Carpenter, revealing a story deeply intertwined with Canadas residential school system. Using sweeping imagery of the land, blended with rare archival footage, Ininiw poetic narration and deeply personal conversations with Survivors, knowledge holders and newly found family, Talaga takes us on an emotional journey of both familial reclamation and an exploration of Canadas true history. Adapted from Talagas book of the same name and told through an Indigenous lens, The Knowing is one story of survival, love and of outlasting. It is a story that every single Indigenous family in Canada shares. Based on the book by Tanya Talaga, THE KNOWING is written and directed by Talaga and Courtney Montour.
