Pantsworthy: Hot Docs – May 5, 2016

Posted on May 5, 2016 By Sammy Younan

My pal Sherien Barsoum suggested this Hot Doc short. When she’s not recommending docs she’s working hard for the excellent Reelworld Film Fest. If Hot Docs is your bag then do bookmark and check out Reelworld later this year. For now…Hot Docs rolls on! Oh and Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Frame 394
7:00 PM Hart House Theatre Screening with Do Not Resist

Got an insider tip…the footage of the white cop shooting a black civilian is not as it seems. (How sad is it that one has to ask which cop shooting incidence?). These short docs excel far better than the news.
