## Resource

A controversial new documentary, “Unanswered: A Failed Call to Justice,” sparked a legal showdown when Edmonton Police sought to block its screening, citing officer safety and publication bans. The film, using publicly available footage from two years prior, was sent to police as a courtesy — but quickly led to legal notices. To avoid prolonged litigation, creators blurred officer faces, respecting ongoing court processes. The family provided the footage, and while police claimed the move was about threats, not censorship, a court order followed after mutual agreement. Meanwhile, officers are now suing the family to blur a previously published video of the shooting’s aftermath — a case currently adjourned. The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team continues its investigation into the fatal shooting. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
