lynne c Great storytelling of a too well hidden history. So impressed with the film makers and stars of the film- such courage and vulnerability Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/30/24 Full Review Juan Aninao This moving film educated us about a type of facility we never knew existed, and exposed the evil committed by the Catholic priests and nuns who ran these schools where Native American children who had been ripped away from their families and who had placed their trust in these new caretakers were horribly betrayed. It is a must-see film for anyone who cares about protecting not only childrens rights, but all human rights. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/23/24 Full Review david m What a powerful film and an untold story. So sad that the church and leaders of these Residential Schools continue to do what they did. And how sad that it has impacted the lives of these children, and then as they became adults, impacted their own children. When will the cycle stop? Such a powerful film. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Vanessa M The stories of survivors lingered in my thoughts long after watching "Sugarcane." This documentary takes a deep dive into the painful legacy left by the Catholic Church's treatment of Indigenous peoples in North America. The raw and emotional narratives are not just historical accounts; they highlight the ongoing struggles that continue today, particularly with the last residential school closing in 1997. Viewing it on a streaming platform, I found myself grappling with uncomfortable truths about our shared history and the injustices faced by First Nations communities. "Sugarcane" transcends the typical documentary format; it is a vital confrontation with our past that demands reflection and understanding. Essential viewing for anyone interested in justice and historical accountability.
