CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com audio film review for “Sugarcane,” a different road of a documentary from National Geographic Films, chronicling the discovery of heinous and complicit crimes of Canada and the Catholic Church. In select theaters since August 16th, see local listings.
The film highlights the SUGARCANE tribe and the survivors of the so-called Residential Schools … a program backed by Canada in which the goal was to assimilate the Native Canadian tribal children into white society. With the complicity of the Catholic Church, the State took these children from their parents and forced them into the dogma and disciplines of that Church, not allowing any native language or tribal traditions into their lives. Behind these programs were priests and religious orders that abused children, both male and female, and also practiced murder of any inconvenient babies that came out of the abuse.
