“BLACK SUN”

Black Sun, directed by Adrian Wallace – 7 min 55 s I Canada I 2019

The film follows Sherri Bonnelli, a white woman who raised and lost her black son, as she looks to advocate for anti-gun violence through her community activism.

We also follow Kelly Fyffe-Marshall, a black filmmaker, as she aims to shed emotional intelligence through the creation of her first feature, “Summer of the Gun” based on one of Toronto’s deadliest summers.
