We are excited to share that Academy Award-nominated actor, producer and activist Lily Gladstone has joined SUGARCANE as an Executive Producer.
Read Gladstone’s reflections on the film in Vanity Fair here.
“A gut-punch of a documentary…NoiseCat and Kassie offer an affecting portrait of a community that endures in spite of colonial genocide… SUGARCANE handles its heavy subject matter without despair.”
“[A] stunning and brutal look at the lasting trauma of the St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School… It’s a portrait of what remains when injustice occurs.”
