A Deathly Silence

Directed by Alison Duke
Canada, 2003 (documentary, 48 minutes, colour, English)

Film Description:
"The last moments of Segun Farquharson's life were recorded on his cell phone as he pleaded for his life. He had just finished eating a meal at home when he got a call on his cell phone. Segun and a friend went to meet two men in a car. An argument ensued and Segun's battered body was found with a bullet in the back. That's all the police know. Segun's mother Julia has gone to the media in the hopes of bringing his killers to justice. Segun's story is the lens through which the program investigates a troubling statistic: 30 per cent of Toronto's homicide victims are African-Canadian."
