Sugarcane

November 8 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

An investigation into abuse and missing children at an Indian residential school ignites a reckoning on
the nearby Sugarcane Reserve. A stunning tribute to the resilience of Native people and their way of life, SUGARCANE, the debut
feature documentary from Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie, is an epic cinematic portrait of a community during a moment of international reckoning.
In 2021, evidence of unmarked graves was discovered on the grounds of an Indian residential school run by the Catholic Church in Canada. After years of silence, the forced separation, assimilation and abuse
many children experienced at these segregated boarding schools was brought to light, sparking a national outcry against a system designed to destroy Indigenous communities. Set amidst a groundbreaking investigation, SUGARCANE illuminates the beauty of a community breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma and finding the strength to persevere.
