Chomutov Screening: Sugarcane

We invite you to a special screening of the film Sugarcane, which is part of the Try Walking in May Shoes project. As part of the accompanying program for exhibitions of Canadian art inspired by the Ore Mountains and the legacy of Karl May, we present a perspective on a reality that has long been hidden behind the romantic myths of the “Wild West”.

About the film: Sugarcane is a stunning tribute to the resilience of Native people and their way of life. The debut feature documentary from Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie is an epic cinematic portrait of a community during a moment of international reckoning.

Set amidst a groundbreaking investigation into abuse and missing children at an Indian residential school in Canada, 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.
