‘Designed to tear families apart’: a shocking film exposes abuse and infanticide

The Guardian

2024

Reporter Veronica Esposito writes about the Devastating documentary Sugarcane which reveals horrifying stories from controversial Indigenous residential schools. Residential schools for Indigenous children have been a stain on the histories of both the United States and Canada, and although steps have been taken in making amends with the past, the new documentary Sugarcane reveals just how much of the process still remains incomplete.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
