SUMMARY:Counter Offence
DESCRIPTION:Set in 90’s Montreal\, Counter Offence tells the story of Shazia\, an Indo-Quebecois woman who finds herself caught in an abusive marriage with Shapoor\, an Iranian man grappling with complex parental problems\, and challenges of immigration. Things take a turn when Shapoor is arrested on domestic violence charges by Sgt. Galliard\, a white officer staunchly dedicated to preventing violence against women. Moolchand\, an Indo-Canadian anti-racist activist\, comes to Shapoor’s defense\, by accusing Galliard and the entire SPVM of racial bias. Clarinda Keith\, a Black social worker\, defends Galliard despite the police’s undeniable racism against people of colour\, in order to support the voices of vulnerable women. When suddenly a body is found\, everyone is a suspect as lines between what is right and wrong become blurred. Counter Offence explores multiple realities existing simultaneously\, and asks the question: how can one discover truth through conflicting narratives?
