Watch A Deathly Silence

An intimate and first hand account of youth and mothers who have become grim statistics in a murder epidemic in Toronto. Intertwined with a first person story, runs a narrative of a community under siege. This is not just a 'south of the border' problem. An alarming wave of black youth violence is spreading through the Toronto neighbourhoods of Regent Park, Rexdale, Scarborough and Jane-Finch. Families are gripped by the tragic loss of their children and though many of the victims and their families know the perpetrators of these violent acts, there is a code of silence that allows these ruthless killers to continue walking the streets.

A Deathly Silence is a 2003 documentary with a runtime of 51 minutes.
