Sugarcane: Film Screening

About the Show

Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie’s Oscar-nominated documentary Sugarcane sensitively portrays the experience of Indigenous communities in the wake of the discovery of unmarked children’s graves at a Kamloops residential school in 2021. Filmed during the widening investigation, Sugarcane illuminates the beauty of a community breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma and finding the strength to persevere.


Hosted by Jodi Spargur and co-sponsored by Red Clover and Pacific Theatre, the film screening is an opportunity to meaningfully engage with Truth and Reconciliation Day. Jodi will lead a facilitated discussion after the screening, and post-screening resources will be available. Tickets are limited for this one night only event, so we recommend booking in advance!

The screening is 1 hour and 50 minutes long with no intermission.


All proceeds from the screening will go directly to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society.
