“u0026quot;Sugarcaneu0026quot; is a documentary you should see. However, I am warning you up front…itu0026#39;s incredibly depressing because itu0026#39;s true. All the murders and sexual abuse did happen…and if youu0026#39;ve been a victim yourself, you might want to think twice before you see it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film follows several people as they try to get to the truth about the Indian residential schools in Canada. This is because they not only abused the kids to knock away their culture, by the Catholic priests who ran the places often molested these kids. And, to make it worse, when the girls got pregnant, they babies were literally tossed into incinerators at least in the case of St. Josephu0026#39;s Mission.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe only reason I gave this must-see film an 8 is that technically it was far from perfect…but still is most watchable. Occasionally the camerawork was poor and I feel that SOME parts should have been trimmed to make the story more succinct. Still, these are minor concerns and itu0026#39;s a film that NEEDS to be seen.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBy the way, if you are wondering if these schools for the natives are unique, unfortunately they are not. The first huge sexual abuse scandal that was uncovered at a Catholic residential school was one for deaf kids! Itu0026#39;s in the exceptional documentary u0026quot;Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of Godu0026quot;.”
