Watching: Rose

Overview

Rose is the story of a sixteen-year-old pregnant, Indigenous teen who is pulled from her community and placed in a church to be overseen in her last months of pregnancy. When she delivers her child, it will be taken from her and put into a Canadian home by decree of an Indian Agent, Mr. Byrne. Rose has a secret and will not tell anyone the identity of the baby's father - not even her family. It is later revealed that the father of her child is a young Mohawk man, named Michael, who wants to keep the child in the community.
