Brenda
A socially awkward but highly enterprising teenager decides to acquire a "mail order best friend"; a sophisticated exchange student from France. Instead, he ends up importing his personal nightmare, a cologne-soaked, chain-smoking, sex-obsessed youth who quickly becomes the hero of his new community.
Jess
Beck, a single mom, lives in Six Nations, Canada. After her mother’s death, she abandons her dream of becoming a Mohawk language teach- er, and an unhealthy lifestyle leads to a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes. The ghost of Tom Longboat, a sports legend of the early 1900s, appears to her. He teaches Beck to become an honor runner, dedicating each run to an aspect of creation or a special person in her life. With Tom’s help, Beck is able to turn her life around.

Baseado em uma história real. Beans é uma garota de 12 anos da tribo indígena Mohawk, que é forçada a amadurecer rapidamente para enfrentar o impasse de 78 dias, um enfrentamento que aconteceu na década de 90 entre a sua comunidade, que queria preservar suas terras, e o Governo do Canadá, que pretendia construir um campo de golfe no local. Enquanto enfrenta as difíceis questões da adolescência, Beans descobre as dificuldades enfrentadas por usar sua voz para o ativismo e os impactos devastadores do racismo.
