"In August 2000, Liza Balkan witnessed the beating death of a man named Otto Vass during an altercation with the police in the west end of Toronto. Balkan kept careful track of the aftermath, then turned verbatim court transcripts, audio, video, and text derived from multiple interviews with lawyers from both sides of the bench, officers, family members of the deceased, activists, and artists, into a documentary theatre project that interrogates the subjects of policing and police violence, use of force, mental illness, racism, justice, memory, witnessing and theatre."-- Provided by publisher.
