THEY CAN'T SO I MUST

By Dara Eshaghian

A dramatic revealing documentary that spotlights anti-black racism in Canada. It traces the journey of a Black Canadian professional athlete who experiences the rise of an exciting career and the crash that follows when police abuse leaves him critically injured. Inevitably, the story connects the power of forgiveness in over-coming life-altering trauma.

The film sheds light that anti-black police brutality is not unique to the United States; it happens in Canada as well. Too often Canadians are skeptical around claims of mistreatment of minorities in our country. By sharing Orlando's story, Canadians are confronted with the reality of racism and our inability to acknowledge it.
