Beans
In her debut feature, Tracey Deer recounts the 1990 Oka Crisis, a 78 day land dispute between the Mohawk people and the Canadian government in Oka, Quebec, Canada through the eyes of a young Mohawk girl nicknamed Beans. This semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story gives viewers a glimpse into the struggle of finding one’s identity while enduring trauma. Introduction by Dr. Adriana Greci Green (VAFF)
