Thoughtful Tuesday is a film/documentary screening series hosted and curated by Earth's Refillery & Cafe Coop. As a community, we watch a film/documentary and then discuss what we watched, what we felt, and how that will inspire us to act.

"Sugarcane’ is a compelling 2024 documentary that delves into the harrowing legacy of the Canadian Indian residential school system. The film investigates the discovery of unmarked graves at St. Joseph's Mission near Williams Lake, British Columbia, bringing to light the physical and sexual abuses endured by Indigenous children.
The narrative intertwines personal stories with a broader historical context, showcasing the strength and unity of a community confronting its painful past. ‘Sugarcane’ not only exposes the atrocities committed but also celebrates the enduring spirit of Indigenous peoples as they heal and reclaim their cultural identity. This poignant film serves as a testament to their perseverance and the ongoing fight for recognition and reconciliation." from Documentary Area.

Coffee, tea, drinks, and food will be available for purchase.

This documentary is a tough watch. Trigger warning.
