Episode 337: 1on1 with Tracey Deer (writer/director, BEANS)

Published: July 23, 2021, 11:23 p.m.

Written and directed by Tracey Deer, BEANS tells the story of a young Mohawk girl as she navigates the racial injustice of the Oka Crisis in 1990. Unprepared for the hatred that she experiences, Beans must re-examine who she is and transform herself into her own kind of warrior. In this 1on1, we speak to Deer about bringing an alternative voice to the history books and the tension between peaceful protest and standing up against injustice.
