“Sugarcane – On the Trail of the Truth” (Disney+)
In 2021, the remains of children were discovered on the grounds of a boarding school in Canada. It was the start of a series of horror discoveries at other schools of this art in the country. They were indigenous children who had been taken from their native families in order to adapt them to Christian-Western society, as it was said. In the boarding schools they experienced violence, abuse, hunger and disease. Many stars and were buried in mass graves. The documentary “Sugarcane – On the Trail of the Truth” by Emily Kassie and Julian Brave NoiseCat sees it as cultural genocide. Your film provides insights into the fate of the people of the Williams Lake First Nation in British Columbia. For Brave NoiseCat it was a very personal work as members of his family attended such a boarding school. The work received a directing award at the Sundance Film Festival and can now be seen on Disney+.
