"Sugarcane" had its world premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Grand Jury Award for Directing for directors Julian Brave NoiseCat & Emily Kassie. The documentary follows an investigation into the Canadian Indian residential school system, sparking a profound reckoning for survivors and their descendants. Julian Brave NoiseCat & Emily Kassie were kind enough to lend us some time to talk about their experience making the film. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in limited release in the United States and Canada and will expand to other cities starting August 16th by National Geographic Documentary Films through Variance Films in the United States and Films We Like in Canada. Thank you, and enjoy!
