Declutter from producer Angela Heck featured on CBC Short Docs

Posted: 07 Jun 2017 09:28 AM PDT

Declutter, a new short doc from producer Angela Heck (NSI Features First) and director Madison Thomas, has premiered on CBC Short Docs.

Madison’s mother survived a traumatic childhood: her own mother never reconciled what she went through at residential school. Cleaning offers moments of control that she didn’t have as a child. She’s fought hard, against all odds, to become a strong woman.

Through rituals as simple as spending time together and smudging, Madison and her mother are beginning to mend the cycle of pain in their family. Declutter is an intimate look into a private moment between mother and daughter and the strength that carries them both.
