Plot Synopsis

Created by Jennifer Podemski and Hannah Moscovitch, LITTLE BIRD is a six-part limited series that follows Bezhig Little Bird as she embarks on a path to find her birth family and uncover the hidden truth of her family history. Removed from her home in Long Pine Reserve in Saskatchewan, Bezhig Little Bird is adopted into a Montreal Jewish family at age five, becoming Esther Rosenblum. Now in her 20s, Bezhig longs for the family she lost and is willing to sacrifice everything to find them. Her search lands her in the Canadian Prairies, worlds apart from everything she knows. As she begins to track down her siblings, she unravels the mystery behind her adoption and discovers that her apprehension was connected to a racist government policy, now known as the Sixties Scoop. Bezhig's sense of identity shatters, and she is forced to reckon with who she is and who she wants to become. LITTLE BIRD made its U.S. debut on Thursday, October 12, 2023 at 9pm on PBS (check local listings).
