Movie Screening
In honour of Truth and Reconciliation Day, Marineview Chapel is hosting a public screening of the award-winning documentary “Sugarcane”.
This debut film from Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie tells of the ground-breaking investigations into abuse and missing children at St. Joseph’s Mission Residential School, and of the reckoning sparked in nearby Sugarcane Reserve.
When Kassie asked her old friend and colleague NoiseCat to direct a film documenting the investigations, led by Williams Lake First Nation, she never imagined that his own story would become an integral part of this beautiful, multi-stranded portrait of a community.
The event starts with a communal dinner at 6pm. The film runs 107min, with group discussion afterwards that will wrap up by 9pm.
Audience Advisory: This film is about residential schools and includes discussions of sexual violence, infanticide and suicide. Strong language warning. Recommended age 19+.
There is no cost for this event, but please RSVP below.
