We have a WHRO Passport exclusive this month for you to enjoy! The tenth and final season of Doc Martin has arrived. This delightful series is a member favorite, and all 8 episodes are available for a binge weekend. 

Along with our other recommendations, we have Little Bird, a dramatized series based on a true story. The riveting series portrays policies enacted in Canada that enabled child welfare authorities to scoop up indigenous children from their families and place them in foster homes where white families adopted them. This act called the Sixties Scoop, began in the mid-1950s and persisted into the 1980s.
