DESCRIPTION: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. Set amidst a ground-breaking investigation into 
 abuse and death at an Indian residential school, the film empowers 
 participants to break cycles of intergenerational trauma by bearing witness 
 to painful, long-ignored truths – and the love that endures within their 
 families despite the revelation of genocide.  \n\nIn 2021, evidence of 
 unmarked graves near an Indian residential school run by the Catholic 
 Church in Canada sparked a national outcry about the forced separation, 
 assimilation, and abuse many children experienced at this network of 
 segregated boarding schools designed to slowly destroy the culture and 
 social fabric of Indigenous communities. When Kassie- a journalist and 
 filmmaker- asked her old friend and colleague, NoiseCat, to direct a film 
 documenting the Williams Lake First Nation investigation of St Joseph’s 
 Mission, she never imagined just how close this story was to his own 
 family. As the investigation continued, Emily and Julian traveled back to 
 the rivers, forests and mountains of his homelands to hear the myriad 
 stories of survivors. During production, Julian’s own story became an 
 integral part of this beautiful multi-stranded portrait of a community. 
 \n\nBy offering space, time, and profound empathy the directors unearthed 
 what was hidden. Kassie and NoiseCat encountered both the extraordinary 
 pain these individuals had to suppress as a tool for survival and the 
 unique beauty of a group of people finding the strength to persevere. \n\n
