This documentary chronicles the 10-year journey of the Faqiri family's pursuit of justice after Ontario provincial prison guards killed Soleiman at the Central East Correctional Centre.

The panel discussion and Q&A will feature Soleiman's brother and founder of #JusticeforSoli, Yusuf Faqiri, as well as two community members of the Termite Collective.

Facilitated by Kelly Struthers Montford, visiting fellow at Concordia's Social Justice Centre and Associate Professor of Criminology at Toronto Metropolitan University
