In The Seats With...Charles Officer and 'Akilla's Escape'

Generational violence is a plague on so many communities... On this episode of "In The Seats With..." we get into the meat of an issue that plagues so many communities and marks a real next level of Canadian Filmmaking and StoryTelling. In a crime-noir about the urban child-soldier, Akilla Brown captures a fifteen-year-old Jamaican boy in the aftermath of an armed robbery. Over one gruelling night, Akilla confronts a cycle of generational violence he thought he escaped. We got the distinct pleasure to sit down with the writer/director of 'Akilla's Escape'; Charles Officer about the origins of the story, the making of the film, it's bigger message and so very much more in one of our better conversations of the entire year.
