Exiled Mothers
he film Exiled Mothers takes us on the artistâs journey to recover her own repressed memories as she examines the social construction of relinquishment, adoption, and motherhood. It introduces us to many other Canadian mothers, who as young womenâcaught between love for their children and a social snare that demanded surrenderâshared the same experience as Sharon that takes a lifetime to resolve. More than a film about adoption and loss, we witness an important period in the history of Western women as we emerge from the fog of a time when the judgment of so many, wilfully separated masses of mothers from their children.
