Synopsis:
"Shattered Dreams" follows the crusade of Ian Brewster, a Black youth worker in Toronto in search of reasons why the city’s Black community is on the verge of a crisis involving violence and criminality. Ian works with young offenders in the heart of Toronto’s most dangerous neighborhoods where violence begets a code of silence and where police officers are seen as the enemy. Produced and directed by Marta Nielsen, this documentary is about Ian’s quest for the dignity, optimism, and pride he feels his culture has lost and how the Black community can reclaim the dignity that the civil rights movement once gave them.
