But their disciplined approach to their material actually makes the movie even more effective in its cumulative impact, especially during interviews with survivors of St. Joseph\u2019s \u2014 including NoiseCat\u2019s father and grandmother \u2014 who only gradually dredge up memories they obviously have long sought to suppress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The school, which did not close until 1981, was one of many state-supported institutions \u2014 139 in Canada, 408 in the United States \u2014 operated for more than a century to deal with \u201cthe Indian problem\u201d by more or less brainwashing children into forgoing their Native languages and customs, and becoming acceptably assimilated. Operated by Catholic priests and nuns, who often were unwaveringly demanding to the point of fanatical sadism, the most infamous of these schools were little better than prison camps. St. John\u2019s ranked among the worst of the worst.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cSugarcane\u201d meticulously details through testimonials and archival material how countless students died while trying to escape, or by committing suicide. We hear of priests sexually abusing male and female students, fathering children with helpless girls and sometimes disposing of unwanted (and incriminating) babies by tossing them into incinerators. Ed, NoiseCat\u2019s father, barely escaped such a dreadful fate; his knowledge of that early brush with death is rendered here as a festering trauma that has long colored the strained relationship between father and son.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Their emotional reconciliation is just one of the narrative threads employed by \u201cSugarcane\u201d to tell its deeply moving story of evil and its aftermath. The documentary also follows the investigation launched by Williams Lake First Nation people after the 2021 discovery of 93 unmarked graves near St. Joseph\u2019s \u2014 a discovery, it should be noted, that was followed by a dramatic increase in church fires attributed to arson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Two activists involved with the investigation, Charlene Belleau and Whitney Spearing, doggedly pursue leads and piece together evidence to document the full extent of the crimes against humanity at St. John\u2019s, despite scant support from government agencies and the understandable reluctance of former students to testify. At one point, Belleau actually makes phone contact with one of the school\u2019s surviving priests, only to be politely but quickly brushed off before the call abruptly ends. It\u2019s one of several moments in the documentary that could drive sympathetic viewers to shout curses at the screen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Another major figure in \u201cSugarcane\u201d: Rick Gilbert, former chief of Williams Lake First Nation, who has somehow held true to his Catholic faith despite witnessing the atrocities at St. Joseph\u2019s \u2014 and suspecting his father may have been one of the priests \u2014 and even takes it upon himself and his wife Anna to protect religious items from his church after hearing about the aforementioned arson epidemic. Gilbert winds up being invited to the Vatican for a meeting between Pope Francis and Indigenous Canadians. The pope sounds truly sorry for what happened to Gilbert and other students at St. Joseph\u2019s. But, as the filmmakers repeatedly emphasize, words \u2014 whether they come from Church leaders or Canadian prime minster Pierre Trudeau \u2014 mean nothing without action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    As powerful as \u201cSugarcane\u201d is on an initial viewing, it becomes even more troubling as you replay it in your mind afterwards and reconsider unanswered questions and seemingly throwaway details. Early on, Julian NoiseCat appears positively amazed when he wins first prize for traditional dancing at a First Nations powwow; you can\u2019t help thinking that, although he was not a St. John\u2019s student himself, he, too, has felt distanced from his heritage. (On the other hand, it\u2019s hinted that he and his father are bound in part by their sharing an abiding appreciation for fellow Canadian Neil Young.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Initially, you might wonder why more of the tormented children never reported what they saw and experienced to their parents or local authorities. But then you comprehend that even if they had \u2014 and there are numerous indications that they did \u2014 they were ignored, or silenced, until they locked their experiences away in that corner of the human heart where wide-awake nightmares are reflexively banished, but never really forgotten. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cSugarcane\u201d is the product of humane and insightful filmmakers who are determined to never let anyone forget, and put their moral outrage to exemplary good use. Still, you\u2019re left with the forlorn suspicion that their best efforts to find justice for the living and the dead, however commendable, are part of a campaign that might be endless. Meanwhile, the weight of unbearable memories continues to drive survivors of St. John\u2019s and other schools of its kind to substance abuse and suicide. At the end, we\u2019re told, \u201cSearches for unmarked graves are underway at more than 50 former institutions.\u201d And yet, while \u201cIndigenous people are still dying from residential schools,\u201d more are \u201cstill living, despite them.\u201d Maybe God is on their side after all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
