Sugarcane review trauma and truth unearthed in Indigenous children's schools scandal
Briefly

The documentary exposes the grim reality of residential Indian schools in Canada, particularly the St Joseph's Mission school, where Indigenous children faced severe abuse and systemic neglect.
Using advanced radar technology, the film uncovers the unsettling truth of infants’ graves near the former school, shedding light on the tragedy of abandoned and forgotten lives.
The film critiques the inadequacy of apologies from church leaders, especially a notably awkward moment when the pope's insincere address fails to acknowledge the severity of the abuses.
Amidst the heart-wrenching testimonies of trauma from the affected communities, the documentary poses essential questions about justice and the need for reevaluating past evils.
