Film Screening: Beans

In an effort to create more opportunities for learning ahead of Orange Shirt Day and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we have expanded our events to include movie screenings.

Event is open to Queen's University students, alumni, staff, and faculty only.

Content warning: racialized violence, implied sexual violence, coarse language.

Beans is a 2020 Canadian drama film directed by Mohawk-Canadian filmmaker Tracey Deer. It explores the 1990 Oka Crisis at Kanesatake, which Deer lived through as a child, through the eyes of Tekehentahkhwa (nicknamed "Beans"), a young Mohawk girl whose perspective on life is radically changed by these events.
