Beans

As seen from the inside out through the eyes of a Mohawk teenager from Kahnawake, Tracey Deer’s new feature film offers a powerful and necessary perspective on the Oka crisis. Despite being only thirteen, Beans has a lot on her shoulders and has to juggle family obligations and inclusion in her new group of friends, the political turmoil and the social pressures of adolescence. Beans is an inspiring coming-of-age tale, offering an essential new look at the traumas of our recent past.
