Inspired by true events, Tracey Deer's (TV's 'Mohawk Girls') BEANS 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. With Kiawentiio, Violah Beauvais, Rainbow Dickerson.

"This is, at its heart, a coming-of-age story, and a reminder that the times and tides in which we stretch out toward adulthood will forever mark us, as individuals and as a people." (National Post) ]

"The search for identity is not a new concept in coming-of-age films but the First Nations context here, combined with Kiawentiio's breakout performance, make Beans important, vital cinema." (Richard Crouse)

"If rendering their stories artfully through a camera lens opens just one mind, then "Beans" is already an unmitigated triumph." (IndieWire)
