**Sugarcane is an amazing film** that speaks from the heart about atrocities committed against natives by the catholic church. It does a brilliant job of humanizing the victims, connecting us to their raw and painful emotions around their abuse, and exposing that to this day there is not real accoun ... tability. I can't recommend this film enough, it brought me to tears several times. I wish every involved this healing, I want justice to be carried out against the criminals that abused the children.
