Acclaimed Doc 'Sugarcane' Trailer About an Indigenous Community

"I want to know the whole story." National Geographic has revealed the full official trailer for an acclaimed documentary film titled Sugarcane, which premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. It won a major doc award for Best Director there, celebrating the film's two filmmakers Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie, both making their first feature.
