An important contribution to the process of Truth & Reconciliation, Sugarcane digs into the legacy of abuse from the Residential School, at St. Joseph's Mission in Williams Lake, BC. With sensitivity and compassion, the film introduces us to those doing the hard labour of researching the past, to traumatized survivors who attended the school as children, and to the children of these children, carrying emotional scars they have inherited but cannot fully comprehend. This should be mandatory viewing.
