DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a screening of the acclaimed film\, Beans\, 
 followed by a question-and-answer period with Director Tracey Deer. Beans 
 is the coming-of-age story of a Mohawk girl who must grow up fast and beco
 me her own kind of warrior during the armed stand-off known as the 1990 Ok
 a Crisis.\n\nTracey Deer is a Mohawk filmmaker from Kahnawà:ke. Beans is v
 ery much inspired by Tracey’s own coming-of-age journey. As a 12-year-old 
 girl\, living through the Oka Crisis had a profound impact on her understa
 nding of herself and her identity as an Indigenous woman. She drew both po
 sitive lessons about the importance of standing up for what you believe in
  and learned firsthand about the incredible resiliency of her people\, but
  she also learned that the world was a dangerous place because of her diff
 erence.\n\nAbout this project\, Tracey writes:\n\nThis project goes back a
  long way for me. I was Beans. I was 12 years old when I lived through an 
 armed stand-off between my people and the Quebec and Canadian governments 
 known as The Oka Crisis. The Mohawk Nation of Kanesatake and Kahnawà:ke st
 ood up to a formidable bully - and won. That summer I knew I wanted to bec
 ome a filmmaker and vowed to one day tell this story.\n\nCanadians did not
  experience that summer as we did. The media painted us as terrorists. Our
  neighbours attacked us. Our basic human rights were violated. And instead
  of offering protection\, the provincial police and Canadian army aimed th
 eir weapons at us. Sound familiar? Thirty years later\, these same scenes 
 are playing out across our television screens as people stand up for racia
 l and social justice across North America. They too are being met with vio
 lence\, instead of support.\n\nWith this film\, I want Canadians and audie
 nces around the world to experience what it was like to be in the crosshai
 rs of so much hate and anger\, and the destructive impact it had on me and
  my people. These kinds of experiences shatter innocence\, confidence\, an
 d hope. Even though this film takes place in 1990 and shows how bad things
  were\, these messages of intolerance\, ignorance and indifference are sti
 ll being heard loud and clear across this country today. We live it every 
 day. Like an infection\, hate and anger spreads and multiplies on both sid
 es. We must stop this cycle of violence to protect the next generation fro
 m repeating the mistakes of our past and\, shamefully\, our present.\n\nBi
 o:\n\nIn addition to Beans\, Tracey led the acclaimed dramedy Mohawk Girls
  to five award-winning seasons as its co-creator\, director\, and co-showr
 unner. She received four consecutive Canadian Screen Award nominations for
  Best Direction in a Comedy Series for Mohawk Girls\, and she has been hon
 oured at TIFF with the Birks Diamond Tribute Award. She has also worked as
  a writing co-EP on the Netflix/CBC series Anne with an E. More recently\,
  Tracey has worked on Inner City Girl\, a feature about gang life\, with O
 riginal Pictures.\n\nTracey’s work has been honoured with two Gemini Award
 s and numerous awards from multiple film festivals\, including Hot Docs. S
 he has worked with the CBC\, the National Film Board\, and numerous indepe
 ndent production companies throughout Canada in both documentary and ficti
 on. Tracey chairs the Board of Directors of Women in View\, a non-profit t
 hat promotes greater diversity and gender parity in Canadian media. She ha
 s mentored emerging talent as leader of the Director Training Program at t
 he imagineNATIVE Film & Media Arts Festival\, as a guest at the National S
 creen Institute (NSI) New Indigenous Voices Program\, and as mentor at NSI
 ’s new IndigiDocs training course.\n\nMore detailed information about the 
 making of Beans can be found here.\n
