Sugarcane15
In 2021, unmarked graves were discovered on the grounds of a former Catholic-run Indian residential school in Canada. After years of silence, the abuse suffered by many children at these segregated boarding schools came to light, igniting a national outcry against a system built to dismantle Indigenous communities. This urgent documentary, directed by civil rights activist Julian Brave NoiseCat and investigative journalist Emily Kassie, offers a powerful cinematic portrait of a community’s struggle during a time of global reckoning. Winner of the Best Director (Documentary) Award at Sundance Film Festival 2024.
Reviews
‘Deeply disquieting and indeed enraging.’
★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
‘‘Sugarcane’ is something more meaningful than a mere history lesson. It’s a portrait of what remains when injustice occurs.’
★★★★

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road. We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We don’t show adverts, just a couple of trailers, so don't be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
