Reconstruction is a Canadian short documentary film, directed by Laurence Green and released in 1995.[1] Made as a student film while Green was studying film at Concordia University, the film explores Green's own family history, including his discovery of the answer to the long-unaddressed family secret of what happened to his adopted sister who had simply disappeared from the family many years earlier.[1]

The film premiered in May 1995 at Concordia University's Festival of Student Films.[2] It was later screened at the 1995 Toronto International Film Festival, where it was named the winner of the Best Canadian Short Film award.[3]
