A young Cree man's death raised disturbing questions of racism in our legal system | CBC Docs POV

On August 9, 2016, a young Cree man named Colten Boushie died from a gunshot to the back of his head after entering Gerald Stanley’s rural property with his friends. The jury’s subsequent acquittal of Stanley captured international attention, raising questions about racism embedded within Canada’s legal system and propelling Colten’s family to national and international stages in their pursuit of justice. #CBCdocsPOV #nîpawistamâsowin #We Will Stand Up
