    **Sugarcane is an amazing film** that speaks from the heart about atrocities committed against natives by the catholic church. It does a brilliant job of humanizing the victims, connecting us to their raw and painful emotions around their abuse, and exposing that to this day there is not real accountability. I can't recommend this film enough, it brought me to tears several times. I wish every involved this healing, I want justice to be carried out against the criminals that abused the children.

Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer

British documentarian Nick Broomfield creates a follow-up piece to his 1992 documentary of the serial killer Aileen Wuornos, a highway prostitute who was convicted of killing six men in Florida between 1989 and 1990. Interviewing an increasingly mentally unstable Wuornos, Broomfield captures the distorted mind of a murderer whom the state of Florida deems of sound mind -- and therefore fit to execute. Throughout the film, Broomfield includes footage of his testimony at Wuornos' trial.
