The Ministry of Grace

presented by
Making Treaty 7 and The GRAND

Written and directed by Tara Beagan, The Ministry of Grace is a grand, sweeping story of friendship and redemption.

It’s 1950 in the deserts of Southern California. Evangelist Brother Cain has a booming trade; his tent revival show moves from town to town, fleecing crowds desperate for something to believe in. When he discovers Mary, a Ntlaka’pamux woman from the Nicola Valley, reading the bible, he puts her onstage, renames her Grace, and displays her as a miracle: an Indian who can read.

Content Warning:
This show contains discussions of historical and contemporary racially-motivated violence, alcohol and tobacco consumption, and several strong racial epithets. It also contains a scene of the aftermath of reproductive violence against a woman.
