MENDING A CRACK IN THE SKY

Directed by Zach Jama and Rob Issa
Produced by Lisa Jackson and Lauren Grant

Shamso Mohamoud and Shamso Elmi both lost their sons to violence and watched their alleged killers walk free without so much as a legal prosecution. Now, the two Somali-Canadian mothers have organized a group "Mending a Crack in the Sky" to collectively combat gun violence and hardship while facing cultural and racial barriers. Commissioned by Hot Docs for the Citizen Minutes program. Stream here.
