For those #AlamoFilmClub members that LOVED @filmrisetv BEANS, you should check out Prime's THREE PINES, which the last two episodes I watched THE CRUELLEST MONTH were directed by @traceydeer. It is so amazing! #ThreePines

October 26, the Anthropocene Film Series continues with BEANS, the semi-autobiographical story of the 1990 Oka Crisis at Kanesatake near Montreal from Mohawk filmmaker Tracey Deer. More indigenous sovereignty, fewer golf courses. kankanindy.com/films-events @iahiindy @traceydeer

Don't miss @traceydeer's acclaimed feature @BeansTheFilm playing at the #DRIFFDriveIn June 16 in Whitby. It's a story about a Mohawk girl on the cusp of adolescence during the 1990 Oka Crisis inspired by Tracey's lived experience. Get your tickets: bit.ly/beanstix

It’s a good day to watch a Tracey Deer film ☀️ Her feature Beans is a tender and powerful coming-of-age story set against the 1990 Oka Crisis. Beans features a striking performance from star Kiawentiio and won the 2021 Canadian Screen Award for Best Motion Picture. #CanFilmDay

Finally had the chance to watch @BeansTheFilm on a flight yesterday and WOW what a tour de force by all involved. A must watch! I ugly cried into my face mask. Thank you @traceydeer for sharing this powerful, tender story confronting racist hate & colonialism in #Canada.
Based on true events, @traceydeer's debut feature chronicles the standoff between two Mohawk communities and government forces in 1990 Quebec through the eyes of Beans, age 12. A @nytimes Critic's Pick. BEANS is now available on digital & US theaters! filmrise.com/film/beans
