In a gesture of Truth and Reconciliation, Sugarcane, an Oscar-nominated debut feature documentary from Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie, a National Geographic film, will be shown in the Theatre Gallery of the Lethbridge Public Library, 810 5 Avenue S. at 1 pm Sunday, March 15. Running time 107 minutes. Discussion to follow. The film documents a groundbreaking investigation into an Indian residential school in Williams Lake, BC and sheds light on years of forced separation, assimilation and abuse that Indigenous children across Canada experienced at the hands of churches and government. This urgent and timely (2024) film brings the hidden story of cultural genocide to audiences worldwide while celebrating the resilience of Native people as they work to overcome cycles of intergenerational trauma. The documentary narrative is a stunning tribute to First Nations resilience. The viewing is hosted by the Lethbridge Inclusive Catholic Community Fellowship, a young faith community holding values of equality, inclusivity and accountability. They celebrate at 11 am in the Theatre Gallery 3rd Sundays of the month. Tickets for the 1 pm show are free with an email address at the website LICCF.ca. Light reception to follow with discussion. All are welcome. Please register at LICCF.ca "Tickets" tab as seating for 75 people is available.
