Documentaries are especially effective when they bring to light something you may not have otherwise known about. A lost bit of history in Canada is the segregated boarding schools for indigenous children and the abuse of these kids at the hands of the Catholic Church (happening for nearly a CENTURY). The film Sugarcane follows the investigation into this history and documents the resilience of the people who survived their time in the schools and the aftermath. Co-directors Julian Brave Noisecat and Emily Kassie talk to Paul Preston about making the film, the emotions digging up the past have stirred up and more.

The 1980 comedy 9 to 5 had enormous appeal with moviegoers, but also made a statement about women's inequality in the workplace, a statement that's needed reiterating ever since then. The film had an impact on twin brothers Gary and Larry Lane, who head the team behind Still Working 9 to 5, a new documentary about the making and legacy of the classic film. Paul talked to them about making the doc, their history with Dolly Parton, and their upcoming world premiere at SXSW.
