“Every so often, a film comes along that, as if out of nowhere, leaves an unexpected impression…SUGARCANE [is] a perfect example of how to draw in an audience to the film’s powerful message with moments as shocking as any entry into the world of horror…. This is far more than just a film.”

– The Playlist

“Demonstrating unparalleled humanity…the powerful documentary operates from a place of pure and total empathy.”

– Deadline
