TW: Police brutality, racism,
In 2013, new Canadian immigrant Godfred Addai was assaulted by police while his van was stuck in the snow. Although he was unarmed, police claimed that a gesture he made while already on the ground was enough to charge him with threatening a peace officer. Godfred ultimately won his case and is now an activist speaking out against police brutality. He is the subject of the powerful new documentary No Visible Trauma, co-directed by Marc Serpa Francoeur and Robinder Uppal. It recently premiered at VIFF.
