Beans
Directed by Tracey Deer
A coming-of-age drama set against the Oka Crisis that traces one girl's forced maturation amid Indigenous resistance and community upheaval.
Twelve-year-old Beans is on the edge: torn between innocent childhood and reckless adolescence; forced to grow up fast and become the tough Mohawk warrior she needs to be during the Oka Crisis, the turbulent Indigenous uprising that tore Quebec and Canada apart for 78 tense days in the summer of 1990.
