Back in 2020, Tracey Deer’s debut feature film Beans made its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. It’s a coming-of-age story based on Deer’s own experience as a young girl living in Kahnawá:ke during the 1990 Oka Crisis. Since its premiere two years ago, Beans has gained international attention and won the Canadian Screen Award for best picture in 2021. The director joined Tom Power to talk about what it meant for her to finally tell a story she’s been determined to share since that traumatic summer in 1990.
