This short film offers a glimpse into the life of a lower class Congolese immigrant in Toronto before, during and after he is shot and murdered outside his workplace. From his sister, to his fellow immigrant employer and to the police officer who finds him, we see how different lives in the same city are affected by the same event. We are left pondering who really killed Hassan or what killed Hassan? And whether if he had survived the bullets that pierced his body, would he have survived living in this society that perpetrates systemic racism and classism. |
