SUGARCANE, the award-winning debut feature documentary, is a groundbreaking investigation into an Indian residential school, shedding light on years of forced separation, assimilation and abuse that Indigenous children experienced at the hands of Church and government. This urgent and timely film brings the hidden story of cultural genocide to audiences worldwide while celebrating the resilience of Native people as they work to overcome cycles of intergenerational trauma.
There will be a panel discussion led by Indigenous citizens after the movie. Refreshments served. Childcare provided. Inclement weather cancels. If needed, cancellation notice will be posted on this page.
