"Authoritarianism is on the rise, and the idea of truth feels more and more distant, and that's the time that journalism and art means more than anything," says co-director of Oscar-nominated documentary 'Sugarcane', speaking to AFP on the Oscars red carpet. The film is an investigation into abuse and missing children at an Indian residential school where co-director Julian Brave NoiseCat's family was sent to. Belgian director Johan Grimonprez who is nominated for his documentary 'Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat' which is a film set in DR Congo blames the 'extraction economy' for the current crisis there and says 'people should not be silent to what's going on.'
