Quote:
"Through a series of interviews with the principals, from both sides, in the occupation as well as archival footage, [Mina Shum] has fashioned both a balanced and poignant picture of these divisive events. She also brings to light elements that many were unaware of at the time. Credit must also go to the doc's determined producer, Selwyn Jacob. Although he was a student at the University of Alberta at the time, the riot had a profound effect on him, largely because several of his fellow Trinidadian friends were involved in the protests. He pledged then that if he were ever to go to film school he would one day make a documentary on the subject. He did, and he has made good on his promise."
