Description

On January 29, 2017, a lone gunman entered a mosque in Quebec City, took the lives of six people, injured 19 others and left an entire community in complete shock and grief. This act of hatred, fuelled by racism and Islamophobia, transformed a place of worship and community to a site of unthinkable trauma, devastating Muslim communities the world over and forcing Canadians to question how we got here in the first place. Four months later, the survivors of the terrorist attack and the victims' families recount the last time they saw those six people and the effect their loss has had on their lives. Through heartfelt testimonials, a grieving community trusts us to listen deeply, bear witness to the heartbreaking loss they've had to endure and commemorate one of the darkest days in recent Canadian history.
