A new documentary about the former St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School won a directing award at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, in January, where it had its premiere.
Sugarcane, the film, follows the Williams Lake First Nation’s investigation into the abuse and disappearance of children at St. Joseph’s.
Co-directors Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie said they are grateful the film is getting the platform it deserves.
