"If we want respect, we have to behave respectfully!" An official Canadian trailer has debuted for an indie film titled Beans, which originally premiered at the Toronto Film Festival last year to quite a bit of acclaim. Nominated for Best Picture at the Canadian Screen Awards, Beans is a coming-of-age tale set during the 78-day Oka Crisis in Quebec in 1990. Inspired by true events, the film is about a Mohawk girl on the cusp of adolescence who must grow up fast and become her own kind of warrior during the armed stand-off known as the 1990 Oka Crisis in Canada near Montreal. "Timely and touching, Beans is a powerful reminder of the resilience, beauty, and love Indigenous communities hold." The film stars Kiawentiio as Beans, and joined by Violah Beauvais, Rainbow Dickerson, Joel Montgrand, Paulina Alexis, D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Jay Cardinal Villeneuve, and Taio Gélinas. This film earned some rave reviews out of TIFF and looks like one of many worthy films ushering in the "Native cinema renaissance." Catch the first look below. ›››
