Screening and discussion of Sugarcane
February 11 @ 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm
PSAC-NCR and the Regional Indigenous Action Circle (IAC) are honoured to host a viewing and discussion of the documentary movie Sugarcane, a documentary film set amidst a ground-breaking investigation of abuse and death at an Indian residential school. The film empowers participants to break cycles of intergenerational trauma by bearing witness to painful, long-ignored truths – and the love that endures within their families.
All are welcome to attend, including union members and community members from across the National Capital Region. Please note that the film includes challenging and/or triggering subject matter, including discussions around child abuse, racism and colonial violence. This event seeks to support healing, correct the historical record, provoke dialogue and seek accountability from the church, government and individuals.
Knowledge Holders and peer workers will be onsite for trauma support.
