Beaucage was a Catholic nun of the order of Our Lady of Missions in Manitoba. She spent 25 years in adult education and community organizing before turning to film in her 40s. Her documentary films are often collaborative in nature and have reflected the participation of Indigenous peoples in political forums, conferences, local activism, and community events. Her 1997 film
Ntapueu... i am telling the truth followed the environmental impact work of the
Innu Nation regarding a
mining project in
Labrador's
Voisey's Bay. She was invited by the Innu to capture their work following her documentation of the efforts of elders in northern Saskatchewan during a 1992 Wiggins Bay blockage in opposition to the province's
clearcutting policies The coordinator of OUTSaskatoon and a two-spirit person herself, Beaucage explained in an interview with the
Saskatoon StarPhoenix that she made the film because of the number of people who don't understand the role and experiences of two spirit individuals: "there are really young people that have lived experiences and need support, so the film was created to be intimate face-to-face storytelling that opens people's hearts and helps them to understand in a way they didn't before." Beaucage is the co-founder of the Aboriginal Film and Video Art Alliance. ==Films==
