Documenting Fredy: Eight Years After the Shooting in Montreal. Fredy Villaneuva was playing dice in a park in Montreal North when police officers arrived. In less than a minute, the 18-year-old was fatally shot by police. Eight years later, what happened in those sixty seconds remains unclear. The documentary play Fredy tries to untangle what happened before and after the shooting, as it asks questions about racial profiling, systemic discrimination, and the promise of art for social change. Hosted by Jasmin Lopez. Produced by International Radio Project.
