Sugarcane

This film is poetry. It is not just important it is cinematic and exceptional filmmaking. The New York Times called it a must-see and it is.

The storytelling is a masterpiece of cinema. Stunning cinematography intricate multi character editing and the score is so beautiful and chilling.

How can we know who we are if we don't know our origin story or how we got here? Sugarcane digs deep and under the skin of horrific atrocity but also the beauty of love and family. The system of residential schools was not just in Canada it was massive in the US and similar schools existed all over the world, required viewing for anyone who loves cinema and/or wants to understand colonization.
