Sugarcane is a powerful documentary by Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie that explores the impact of Canada's Indian residential schools through the lens of a community reckoning with long-suppressed truths and generational trauma. As they follow the investigation into unmarked graves at St. Joseph’s Mission, the filmmakers uncover both personal and collective stories of pain, resilience, and enduring love within Indigenous families.

Resources for survivors & families, those who are unfamiliar with the history, and educators can be found on the Sugarcane website.
