More about “Sugarcane” (dir. Julian Brave NoiseCat, Emily Kassie / Canada / 2024):
“Investigation into abuse and missing children at an Indian residential school ignites a reckoning on the nearby Sugarcane Reserve. A multilayered film that invites audiences to confront profound questions about morality and justice, and to bear witness to the lasting intergenerational legacy of trauma from the residential school system — including forced family separation, physical and sexual abuse, and the destruction of Native culture and language.” (source; external link; date of access: 2024-05-08)
