Twelve-year-old Beans (Kiawentiio from AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER and ANNE WITH AN E) is on the edge: torn between innocent childhood and delinquent adolescence; forced to grow up fast to become the tough Mohawk warrior she needs to be during the Indigenous uprising known as The Oka Crisis, which tore Quebec and Canada apart for 78 tense days in the summer of 1990.
Dir: Tracey Deer / 2021 / CANADA / 93 min

“Beans is a thoughtful, stirring reflection by someone who survived it all, quietly demanding acknowledgment not just of her land, but of her life.” — Guy Lodge, Variety

“Deer’s Beans exults as a sweet debut for both her and Kiawentiio.” — Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com
